does your asd child lie? | Autism PDD

Tom doesn't lie. I will lie with things like "I don't know how that cup got broken" . My husband says I'm a hopeless liar and he can spot straightaway if I'm fibbing. The funny thing is that when we myself and my sisters were getting told off as children, I'd be so panicked that I'd vehemently deny doing anything if I had done it and admit to it straight away if I hadn't. 

 I won't lie about more serious stuff. I've never even slightly exagerrated my CV, I won't tell lies about myself or other people.

My DS tells 'lies' all the time. Mostly when he's feeling sensitive or
embarassed. He will make up a story to explain "The Real Reason" he did or
said something...
Hahahaha, mamakat ya usually when I lies it was to cover up something that i was sensitive about for whatever reason. Ya i lied quite a bit myself, mainly to protect myself from punishment or embarrasement.I thought asd kids did'nt really lie? My son will do something and trys to say his brother did it, even when I see him do something or say something he'll deny it and say  " I did'nt do it" or " I didn't say that, you know why cause I didn't" with an attitude on top of that!

He even uses it to prove he's not lying.  He'll stick out his tongue after he's told me some story and say "See, I tell the truth!" LOL

Nick to the best of my knowledge never lies. He has always been exceptionally honest even with things he could have easily gotten away with.

Until recently, I would have never imagined that Skylar would ever learn to lie. But boy was I wrong. Good thing is that he only lies about really minor things like when I ask him why he hit his sister (and I saw the entire fight), he tries to convince me that she tried to pull his hair (he has no hair) or that she bit him (and Zoe has NEVER been a biter). Just really off the wall things. Nothing major.

And the poor little puppy (lily is her name) takes the blame for everything!

Not very often and not very well. Our big issue is not telling me something that I need to know - kind of lying by omission.

For instance, he will tell me that his sister hit him. He OMITS telling me that he grabbed her shirt first and wouldn't let go. Eventually, this comes out. However, I'm not sure this is lying or not being sure what is important to tell...

Jason definitely lies.  He started about a year ago at 3.5 and was not very good at it at the time.... you know the kind of lies where they are holding the broken cup in their hands and saying that his brother did it instead when his brother is upstairs sleeping
