Autism affects children's ability to develop a sense of self. Some children with autism seem not to recognize themselves as independent social beings (Dawson et al., 1998). They exhibit delays or deficits in self-recognition. When researchers in one study showed autistic children (ages 3 to 13 years) their reflections in a mirror, 31 percent failed to demonstrate recognition of their mirror image (Spiker & Ricks, 1984). More recent studies have confirmed that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show delays in self-recognition (Nielsen et al., 2006). Moreover, even when autistic children do recognize themselves in the mirror, they demonstrate little emotional response. This is consistent with the suggestion that autistic children are less proficient in understanding emotions than are typically developing children (Harms et al., 2010; Rump et al., 2009). A dysfunctional neuron mirror system (see Chapter 3) among autistic children may account for their difficulty processing emotions (Burrows et al., 2016; Dapretto et al., 2006). Researchers have found that autistic children-unlike neurotypical children-show similar neurological responses to their own face, a familiar face, and an unfamiliar face, a further indication that they do not distinguish between self and other (Gunji et al., 2009).
