The importance of mirroring visual information figuratively and literally for a child on the spectrum.

Mirrors and why I think they are so important, other than helping our kids learn their own existence in time and space, and in doing so it helps with our kids learning to dress themselves (slowly Edward is getting better at this)
Edward's first impression was of someone different that is why I used it to help with introductions and conversation :-) when he is getting dressed upstairs I say hi mirror Edward and mirror mummy :-) how are you.  Edward can you wave to mirror Edward? .....blah blah blah blah blah. The great thing is mirror mummy and mirror Edward always seem happy to smile back and wave back :-). There are so many interactions our kids miss out on because of other peoples lack of treating like they are worth the interaction, we need to make up our our ways of teaching them basic societal politeness in a less stressful environment.
