@KatyElphinstone Also, some autistics have learned to not show feelings whatsoever. I met someone who had no feelings in their tone and reacted as if he had no feelings on anything.
Asking him why he had no feelings, he told me it was out of a need to survive, for whenever he did have feelings, his father would grab him by the neck, lift him into the air and hold him against a wall.
Yeah, we got some PTSD there.
