It is the point in the film Sideways where Miles, played by Paul Giamatti, gets his soul crushed, after hoping for the entire film that things could get better and there is a happy ending in sight.

It looks more like mild disappointment or mild contempt to me. Maybe the character is a trooper and your interpretation of his expression is colored by your memory of the context.
Although apparently I am a "high functioning autistic," but when I asked the therapist how she knew she replied that "she could just tell" after years of being in her profession, and it was more a judgement call than a specific set of criteria, though apparently putting together complex sentences on the fly and preferring more specific diagnostic questions are large indicators

Holy shit same experience.

I started the book after I read James Wood's review and I was intrigued by suspicious. Still I trusted his overall positive judgment.

I start reading it and it has the a little bit clumsy run-along prose plus him going to a museum, and I though great here we go with more Tao Lin crap.

And then it hit me and oh my god all those feels...

Especially when he struggles to retell other discussions trying to obtain the same effect and he cant...god...

At that point when he hears that Victoria is pregnant, his hope that they would get back together was torn away from him. He thought that he was fucked with the Maya situation, and that this was the only remaining option.
