[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 218928, member: 1991"] You need to get those lies defined more carefully. There are lies of "I didn't do it," and there are lies of "I was walking to school when a big polar bear jumped out of the bushes, attacked me, ripped off my backpack, took out my homework and ate it. That's why I don't have my homework with me today," kind of lies. The first ones can be told by anybody, including kids with autism (or Asperger's). The second - generally not possible with autism. Unless someone else told him the story first (which clumsy questioning can prompt). While I'm not saying that your child IS autistic, don't be too quick to dismiss it. It is far more complex than you may realise, and your son may still be young enough to slide by socially. difficult child 3 can be VERY popular with his peers if all they are talking about is computer gaming and how to play them. he is the Grand Master, they are the mere starry-eyed pupils. But in everything else - he is left behind floundering. But that is now. At 4 or 5, it was different. He was STILL the Grand Master, the other kids were even more starry-eyed. But back then the other kids were also socially inept because they were still just little kids. Welcome to the site, help is here. Marg [/QUOTE]
