When looking in the mirror, you can easily tell when you're smiling.

Yes, this happens all the time to me. I think it's a relatively common thing for autists to emote differently, and I'm autistic, so I guess it makes sense for me. People who know me well can definitely detect my smiles though, so that's nice. I've been trying to get used to overcompensating for strangers to make sure they see my expressions, and I just hope that it doesn't end up looking too uncanny valley.
