Okay, I'm curious now. Any neurotypicals in the audience, can you actually smile on command?

Yes. I've got two categories of on command smiles.
With one type I go through the physical motions of a smile.
The other I conjure up the emotion that makes me smile and let it play out on my face. The second one looks better.
OH YESSS THAT'S SO FKIN RELATABLE
Yea that's too relatable
just like me fr fr
Yeah lol
Do it slowly and piecemeal, like the T-800.
I used to not be able to do that, but I had to learn how as a result of being a gymnast ("you're supposed to smile at the judges" - my coach, >10x every practice). She had to actually teach me how to do a convincing "fake smile" (a smile is a whole-face activity, if you miss part of it then you just look like a psycho).
