[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 546417, member: 3419"] Insane, there again, I see my difficult child in all the definitions. He definitely lies to cover his butt. And get out of trouble. He lies because he can't remember ... and it just comes out of his mouth like he's exhaling. Yesterday, he freaked out because he didn't want to do a contact lens fitting. He's been wanting contact lenses for 2 yrs. Last yr, we spent an hour trying to teach him at the dr's ofc, and he gave up. He bugged me again about it in May. So we finally get an appointment, and 1/2 hr beforehand, he freaks out and says his eyes are all red and he never wanted contacts to begin with, so whatever gave me the idea he wanted them, anyway? Huh?! Lying to make himself look better may be more Aspie than self esteem. He just doesn't "get" that he has to learn how to do things, step-by-step and he insists he either knows something or he doesn't. We have talked about this in therapy a few times. Today we painted a kitchen chair, and cleaned tarnished silver tongs, and he was much better about not shouting at me ... I also tried to stay out of it and only speak when spoken to. ;b [/QUOTE]
