Abstract

A common notion regarding autistic children is that they do not show self‐recognition. In this study, 7 autistic children were compared to a group of normal infants at the age of self‐recognition.

In a 2‐choice preference situation, autistic children tended to prefer the more predictable mirror image to a previously taped film of self.
