Given these findings, the question arises of whether the behavioral data that suggest an intact mirror mechanism in ASD children derives from the fact that, in those studies, only the what aspect of action understanding was tested or whether indeed children with ASD have no deficits in both aspects (the what and the why) of action understanding.
