    The interesting thing is, you can hear them smiling when they talk. I used to work at a call center, and they always used to say to smile while talking to people even though they can't see you, because you can hear a difference. And it is true! When Erin talks about Alex's accent, you can tell she is smiling even if she doesn't look like it.

    It's sad to imagine how they are perceived and, most likely treated by strangers they interact with in public. People, with no knowledge of this disorder, probably assume they are grumpy or rude.

      There’s also a condition called Angelman Syndrome. It’s like the complete opposite of this syndrome and can cause frequent smiling. It was once called Happy Puppet Syndrome because of the persons jerky movements and sunny persona , especially of children.

    I love your story. I too was born with Moebius Syndrome. I didn’t even know the name of the Syndrome until I was pregnant with my first child. I seen a genetic doctor and that’s when I found out the name. I was born without hands also, which was from the medicine thalidomide that my mom took for morning sickness in 1960. I’m married to a wonderful man that doesn’t have any handicap. Thanks for sharing your beautiful love story. Wishing you both all the best. 😀

      IP, I use both arms. Everyone always tell me that I write better than them. I also drive, without any hand controls. I’m on Facebook if you’d like to add me as a friend. I also put my own makeup on. I don’t let my handicap limit me that much. Thanks for your question. 😄

    But they DON'T have to go through life without a smile... there is a set of 2 surgeries called "facial reanimation" that would make it possible for them to smile. That's like someone whining "My leg is broken", but not getting it set for the rest of your life and a cast put on it so it can heal! The reanimation surgery would possibly help their breathing and speaking as well as giving them a smile, making it not purely cosmetic. After surgery, they would then need to consciously learn to smile when they were happy or meeting someone, and they'd have to practice to learn how to make their smile look natural.
