Normal Movement Selectivity in Autism from Simons Foundation on Vimeo.

Mirror neurons come up a lot in autism research. Perhaps the mirror neuron theory is, as one researcher put it, exaggerated with little evidence to support it.

This is discussed in the Simons Foundation sfari blog. Also, the authors have made a video to discuss the mirror neuron theory and their recent experiment (again, I found this on the sfari blog). I apologize that it is not closed captioned.
