Twisting faces-- especially to look morbidly-depressed or horrified-- is a common tactic in horror. In fact, it works because of the uncanny valley effect-- a psychological phenomenon that exists to protect us from disease and from breeding with deformed people. And you know who’s more sensitive to uncanny valley than average? Autistic people. Like me. There’s no therapy for this because it’s neither weird nor solvable.
