I cry about 2 -3 times a year and then only because I have seen or heard a nice pattern.

Depends.

Usually I dont cry at all. I have moments when I think I might like to cry, or when I feel like I should probably be very sad, but nothing comes.

Seems like the super traumatic events in my life drained up all my tears and I don't have any left--not literally, of course. My eyes aren't dry. It's just that when I feel like I'm about to cry, it rarely ever actually happens anymore.

I find this odd and interesting.

I rarely cry; it takes overwhelming emotion to do such, said emotion equates to a really good or really bad thing.

It's rare enough an event for me so I enjoy it no matter the trigger.

Not really the type to cry and I'm a dude. I guess I have my moments by myself when something sad has happened. The only time I've cried in front of anyone as not a small child(didn't cry much then either) was at my grandfather's funeral.

I use to think of my crying as crying "easily" but now I'm more convinced that I tend to cry inappropriately. The difference being that I might cry if I get frustrated with a simple everyday problem, but I didn't cry at my father's funeral. This is an extreme example, but it's true and demonstrates my point. The way I express my emotions and when I express them is definately not normal.

I don't cry that easily, never to pain anyways, physically or emotionally. Though I do tear up a little when I am really happy. For example like a happy moment in a novel or movie.

I tend to cry pretty easily. It doesn't bother me, because my "twin" cries:

It bothers me when ignorant people who have no understanding of ASDs call me a Cry Baby, and I feel this need to prove those b*****s wrong by working so quickly, that my emotions get stunted, when I'm at work, and they're gossiping at my clubhouse, while they're supposed to be working.

It depends. I cry over really stupid small things, but not over other things. I never cry watching movies or reading books. It's like when I want to cry I can't, but when I don't want to I do. Sometimes I wish I could cry easier.

It's been a couple years for me. It doesn't make me feel macho, it makes me feel like something is very wrong.

I generally have a very flat affect. Narrowly avoiding car accidents makes me feel alive. This happens frequently, although its effect has diminished. :(
