I actually know a number of people who do this, but not in a work situation. I think what would be better is if it comes up that you apologize for what seems like perhaps an inappropriate response and say "I apologize, I have so much compassion for you, I have a neuro condition that affects my facial expressions." But I'd only say that if something happens. Otherwise, they may not even really notice because they are focused on their grief.
Does it come up a lot that people mention you are smiling or something?
