The broken-mirror theory of autism argues that the socialdifficulties linked to autism are a consequence of mirror-system dysfunction(Iacoboni & Dapretto, 2006; Oberman & Ramachandran, 2007; Ramachandran& Oberman, 2006; Rizzolatti & Fabbri-Destro, 2010). Several lines of evidencehave been taken to support this. Hadjikhani et al. (2006) found, using structuralMRI, that autistic individuals had reduced gray matter in several regions linkedto the mirror system, including the inferior frontal gyrus (Broca’s region). Daprettoet al. (2006) conducted an fMRI study in which autistic children and matchedcontrols either observed or imitated emotional expressions. The imitation conditionproduced less activity in the inferior frontal gyrus of the autistic children relativeto controls, and this was cor related with symptom severity. Oberman et al. (2005)used EEG to record mu waves over the motor cortex of high-functioning autisticchildren and controls.
