Do people with asperger's look in the mirror?

I do but I don't particularly like it. I don't look into my own eyes, either.

I don't really have a problem with it.

I bought one small mirror recently, because I need it to look smart for work. If I had a big mirror, I'd probably obsess over every little detail of my appearance, and get horribly miserable. As it is, I hide the little mirror between using it... it's quite a tiny thing actually, it doesn't take in all of my face. It's the first mirror I've owned. (I'm thirty eight.) I hate mirrors. There's this mad woman living in them...

no, if we do.. the devil will come and take our souls

I do. It's a good thing that I'm good-looking. Now if only my bloody hair would stop falling out!

I'm actually pretty fascinated by the mirror. I like to see my face.. I kind of picture myself as faceless since I can't normally see my face so I find it very interesting to catch a peek of what I look like and I am often surprised.

I suppose I look a bit narcisistic if anyone notices me looking at my reflection in dark windows or such.

I dont have a problem with it, I do it quite frequently to check my hair isnt too messed up

Noa x

oh yeah, hair. my rearview mirror shows my bangs and the top of my head so I can make sure I don't look like too much of a freak in public

I avoid the pain, besides, it's depressing

I try, but my reflection never shows up...

Seriously, yes I do. I look at my teeth (recently had braces removed), my hair, my skin, etc. Of course, there are also times where I really should look in the mirror, and I don't.

I do, to put on makeup and do my hair, etc., whilst at home. In the privacy of my own bathroom, I don't mind looking at myself. Out in public, however, it's another matter entirely. I don't like the way I look when I catch glimpses of myself in store mirrors, dark windows, or at the gym - actually, when at the gym, I try to stay as far away from the mirrors as I can (not an easy task). I'm horribly self-conscious, and I also don't want others to catch me looking at myself. Though they're "allowed" to be narcissistic (checking themselves out regularly), I feel like I'd be ridiculed if I were caught doing the same thing. Not sure why...

I look in mirrors in a lot...they draw my eye, and distract me. Although I don’t spend much time actually examining how I look, or fixing myself up......I just look.

I do often to see what flaws need dealing with, such as acne, etc. sometimes I will look at myself in the mirror ,at my eyes, and try to figure out who is in there.
