.... and that's why I found this site! I would interpret what my daughter (AS) has to say to my wife and her reply would be "you both are from the wrong planet"...

| This is a tricky question. I think most AS prefer to be literal and exact. But that can also be a problem. "Did you take the ipod" can be understood as "did you take the ipod yesterday" to which an honest answer might be no. Or she can have herself convinced that it isn't her sisters. And so on. Wi... |

| How does lying fit into symptoms? I'm having difficulties in getting my daughter to tell the truth or not "invent" stories and was wondering if it's related to aspergers. |
