Is it normal to avoid mirrors

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.

  • I'm not overly fond of looking at myself so I keep mirror time to a minimum. I also avoid being photographed or videoed if at all possible. 

    I don't know if it's not feeling comfortable with the way I look or that the person I see isn't really as I see myself. (If that makes any sense)
