Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autism is the disorder that has been linked to dysfunction in mirror neurons. Mirror neuron dysfunction may cause social-cognitive deficits in individuals with autism, and therapies that involve imitation and observation of others could potentially help by stimulating the mirror neuron system. Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and aphasia are not specifically linked to dysfunction in mirror neurons.
