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.

  • I don't like mirrors in the bedroom, they're distracting on multiple levels and a bedroom should be where one winds down or feels at ease. A mirror is a representation of being watched. It is an object for a light paranoia.

    I have an over-active imagination and when I was young, was told all the horror stories about mirrors. That activated my imagination, so I couldn't deal with them at night. Even turning a light on in the loo. The mirror suddenly became a portal to another dimension once the safety of the sun was gone. They're used in stories everywhere as a source of transportation and delirium.

    That brings back bad memories, I too have a strong imagination...I remember watching some kind of terrible horror movie which I vividly remember this scene with a mirror and some kind of demon thing....it took months to get over and even now in the middle of the night I try to avoid looking in the bathroom mirror...Fearful
