My son has discovered the wonder that is a tri-fold mirror.
My husband and I went shopping with my mother for uniforms. Lo and behold, my spazz of a five year old discovered the mirror. At first he just stared at himself like "okay, yeah.. what ever.. It's a mirror" Then he noticed, there was more than one reflection and lost it.
This video was taken about 2 or 3 minutes into Gabe playing with the mirrors.
I lucked out for this because I had recently decided I would never go anywhere without my camera because my child can do some pretty spontaneous things that I never would be able to share without my camera. Plus no one would believe me if I didn't have the camera.
I think mirrors actually help Autistic kids to communicate, because they know if they do something odd in front of the mirror that the person in front of them isn't going to freak out. (is your child autistic? the description doesn't say that he is but the tags say autism so I didn't want to imply that he is without knowing lol)
