Yes they learn to lie, but they can also be very word for word accurate on a situation that has accord better then having a voice recorder lol
We can lie, yes. In my case, I don't like to lie, but occasionally I did, too.
That's funny. You're essentially calling autistic people incapable and dim, yet you can barely write a paragraph properly. Next time you decide to impose such a simple and insulting label on an entire group of humans I recommend you proof read your writing by reading it out loud.
My 5 year old is high functioning autism and lies to much she's not worried about hurting anyone's feelings and she understands what's a lie and what's the truth so in my expirence when people say oh they tell the truth due to not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings I don't believe it.. She looks right at me and said I did something to her when I never did. Is that scary or what
Sounds like a bit more going on than just autism.
I totally agree I have a son with Aspergers and one son that has high functioning autism. They both lie they observe well and pick up habits. In their case their older sister getting out of trouble by lying. The youngest used mimic everything the older one did and he was diagnosed with Aspergers until they reevaluated him.
Kid on my bus has autism and lies about living in America, and the place he picks is New York.
My teenage autistic son lies!he has told the school that I killed and raped people.that I abuse him and his brothers! He says all kinds of crazy things! I love him,and try to help him.I am a very strong Christian,and he doesn't like Christians.he finally attacked me for no reason without any warning with a candlestick! he said he was sorry and didn't know why he attacked me.we finally put him on Zoloft and know he is doing better.I will always love him and protect him.I am afraid to take him out in public anymore.Its a difficult life,but I owe it to him to be there for him He has never attacked any other family members.we used to be inseparable,but now I make sure my wife is with me if I take him somewhere.I hope other parents don't have the same problem I am having.
My teenage daughter sometimes lies but when I ask her, she doesn't understand that she did and why. She is 14. Also my daughter hears things in her brain and says that I have said this which I haven't and she will argue the point. We are seeing a Psychologist and Dr Parry but he only subscribed a depression tablet which is not working. I can't get into him until January next year, I have an appointment to see a psychiatrist at the end of November.
I know these posts were a year ago but I need some advice. There are two 14/15 year olds on my bus, who are autistic, like me, and they lie. Both say they are from America and one, in my opinion, has tried all of his life, since his obsession with America, to perfect an Accent. The other has an accent like the accent spoken in my area, but he claims he's American. He tells more lies, and doesn't take it personally if they say to him 'Yeah of course you're from America (Sarcastically)', but just dismisses the truth, and gets on with his day, but we know he lies because he bullshits about other things and insists we lie to him. The other, who tries to do an American Accent, gets really personal, once telling me he would break my neck and he knows '7 ways of kung fu'. I don't know what to do. It cringes me out whenever they say 'When I used to live in America [Insert Lie]...' because I know they are living a lie, and yet, even though they are told by teachers (probably) that it's unadvisable to lie, but they just go on. Please give me your input.
Well said, i have 9yr old brother that is autistic and makes up stories and lies too. What u have just said i totally agree!!!
Going through the same stuff with my stepson. Lies about even the most ridiculous things. So frustrating.
I am married to an autistic man and I can relate to everything you just said. Are you still married to your mate? I am, unfortunately. I would like to talk with you more.
I disagree with the previous post. Children with ASD raised in a healthy environment with clear communication and proactive, involved parents AVOID trouble! They do not like excessive attention, typically related to sensory issues, and prefer calm, peaceful environments. They like to make others happy. I would want to know the full background of how the referenced autistic adult (?) was raised and much more before I gave any credibility to the previous post. I suspect there are many factors not the fault of the autistic invividual that are key elements that were left out of the post.
My daughter does this. She lies and steals food all the time. How do you deal with this? My marriage is on the verge of a breakdown because of this
