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 understand this. In fact when I look in the mirror I don’t recognise my face. I don’t look familiar. I also hate photos of myself. I hate mirrors because of the fact i don’t recognise what I see. It shocks me each time. Good luck.
