At the moment he has a virtual obsession with mirrors (he wants "a big green mirror" for christmas) and uses them in all sorts of imaginative ways - to look at the telly, his computer, to reverse what he sees etc. I believe that mirrors are important. Children with autism can have a very fuzzy understanding of who they are.
@cracyrockysback > Try to introduce mirrors in a non-pushy way. Hang mirrors at your sons eye level - like near the TV or his little table or in his room. Lewis' has had phases where he used his mirrors a lot and others where he ignored them completely but there has always been mirrors where he would pass them or sit infront of them often. He has used them to dance in front of or he sometimes checks his expression in the mirror to see what HE looks like when he is sad, happy etc.
My son loves to imitate as well. It's also what helps him learn. Ignore those that don't understand Autism. Anyone who can say that about a child should be calling themselves a retard!
