[QUOTE="Mominator, post: 651072, member: 18745"] Hi PlainJane. I have experienced these behaviors, but not in the same consistency. All 4 of my younger kids have significant problems with lying. My 15 y/o aspie used to lie constantly. Even when we proved to him we saw or heard what he did, he'd lie. Then we realized he would lie even if there wasn't going to be a consequence i.e.: Parent walks into kitchen to find out someone cleaned it without being told and asks "who cleaned the kitchen?" The answer was always, "I don't know" or "It wasn't me". Even when it was him. Lying had become a habit. For him, I learned to look at him calmly and remind him that parents respect honesty and advise him to take a minute to calm down and answer the question again. Sometimes, I remind the kids that most of the time parents ask questions we already know the answer to, so they need to be careful before they speak. Mostly though, the youngest 2 of my kids (currently 9 and 12) will do the same type of lying you mention in your post. As they get older, they realize it is not in their best interests to do that to parents, but they will pull those stunts on each other. At this point in time, we usually get those behaviors when we are ordering food in restaurants. For example, order sprite then swear they ordered root beer after the sprite is delivered. But when they do that, we take the drink away and give them water. After reading what svengandhi wrote, I thought of auditory processing disorders.
