Question: I'm not sure whether this is your area, but do you think that other not "neurotypical" people (so people with depression or ocd) also have difficulties or somehow different experiences when recognising emotions and faces?

Absolutely! There is evidence to suggest that individual differences are seen across various neurodiverse expressions (AND in Neurotypical people) when it coms to emotion recognition. People who have PTSD for instance, tend to over-ascribe negative facial expressions and be more sensitive to them leading them to be hyper-vigilant. People who have Parkinsons disease also struggle to recognise emotions, and we think it may be related to their struggle to create facial expressions themselves, though it can be improved with therapy.
