Is it normal to avoid mirrors

Simple01

My 15 year old daughter is waiting for a diagnosis of autism.

She has taken  all her mirrors out of the room, including her door of her wardrobe which had mirrors on it.

Her wardrobe  door is heavy and I can not believe she was able to pull it off. 

Is this behaviour normal.

  • It is quite amazing what feats of strength people can achieve when they set their minds to doing something.    I would suggest that determination does concentrate the mind to the extent that what looks impossible becomes less so.

    I am not sure what is 'normal' any more.   

    I don't think it is necessarily normal to want to get rid of all your mirrors, but I can see people wanting to do it, for several reasons.   Perhaps she doesn't particularly like her appearance right now, and has taken to this extreme measure to solve the problem?    OR perhaps she doesn't like all that reflection going on.   Maybe it produces too much bright light.  

    There are a few possibilities here, can you discuss them with her?
