sentences:  Mirroring has also been shown to allow neurotypical children to understand what the intentions of an action are before seeing the entire sequence.Because of this, a child can see someone pick up food with the intention to eat and fire all necessary motor chains needed for them to pick up their own food and go through the motions of eating it as well.It has been shown that children with autism lack this motor chain reaction and are thought to use other senses, such as visual or somatosensory, to accomplish similar tasks.
