Why is it when one person yawns, another person then yawns also?!


Question: A non-autistic person has something called mirror neurons in their peripheral nervous system. These activate when you observe someone doing something that seems like it would be appropriate in the situation. This happens to a limited extent in children who copy their daddy's shaving. Why it is so profound in the case of yawning has yet to be discovered.

Yawning lets oxygen get to your brain, and it is a good feeling. Everyone has yawned before and knows what it feels like. It's an automatic response, when our brains hear it...it just follows along.
