[QUOTE="buddy, post: 470888, member: 12886"] Kids do tell intricate lies when younger like that, like...I remember telling kids about a concert I went to and a 7 yr old went on and on about how she went too, to get the same interest that I was getting from the other kids. I knew she didn't, and confirmed it with mom...but she just wanted to be "in" and I didn't "out" her. My niece did that kind of crazy story telling for like 2 years. She is in 3rd grade now and has mostly stopped. Lots of kids do that kind of thing. But maybe, if the aspie thing is right, she took a normal developmental thing and it got escalated to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/over the top level? I know lots of what we describe to other non difficult child families they say, well my kid does that too...but usually it is the degree and amount of times and intensity that is very different. When my son tells obvious lies, I call it crazy lying. Like when difficult child runs across a room and I say, you are not supposed to run, he says I didn't, or I say dont put that in your mouth..."I never put things in my mouth" Ok I just watched you chew on that for 3 minutes...you gonna stick with that story? If something disappears, "Well the guys from toy story took it" ...OK, why did I find it in YOUR backpack? I dont know if what your daughter did is that unusual but it does sound extreme. Every Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid is really just a kid and can have their own strange things that dont fall into any diagnosis. Maybe that was just her weird blip in time??? Just thinking out loud. The way you are processing your new information and sorting through her ways of thinking and behaving sure sounds like the spectrum idea is pretty right on. She is still who she is though. I remember thinking when I finally accepted Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) that even though I knew there was Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-like stuff, it was really sad to see it in writing.
