How Do You Deal With A Thirteen Yr. Old Aspie Who Is High Functioning And Lies In All Seriousness?
My grandson, a 13 yr. old aspie, lies continuously. In all seriousness he says he knows nothing about it, he did not do it. He is also epileptic - has grand mals and has had petit mals since a toddler. I wonder: 1) does he know he is lying? 2) does he not remember having done/not done whatever? 3) does he not recognize that he is lying and see the lies as justified protection?
Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, how did you approach it?
I feel your pain, have the same issue with my 18yr old. He claims to thrive on honesty, but often lies and denies things that were definitely said or done. About a year ago he even started denying his diagnosis. His seizures began at the onset of puberty, and I often wonder if this has affected his memory, cognitive function, and awareness. He is scheduled for another neuropsych evaluation soon (he had one at age 13) and I am hoping we may find some answers. In the meantime, sometimes we make video or audio recordings and then share them with him as proof of his behaviors and actions.
Thank you! I had not thought of having a neuro/psych eval, that's a good idea. In fact, one of my questions has been whether he even remembers what he did.
