This should help you to understand the concept better:

[b]Can Autistics Tell Lies?[/b]

[b][i]I am not sure who started the rumor that those with ASD don’t lie, and even that they are incapable of lying. Clearly this is not true. Sadly, all people lie, but how Autistics lie is unique. It’s that uniqueness that gums up our relationships[/i].[/b]

Without empathy, Autistics lie similarly to psychopaths, although Autistics don’t have the ruthless intent. They aren’t considering how we will feel when they lie to us. They aren’t even considering a “smooth” way to lie. They just lie to avoid confrontation, anxiety, being wrong, or any number of reasons the rest of us may lie.

When confronted with their lies autistics have a variety of defenses that mimic psychopaths too.

They tell us they “never said that.” 
They elaborate the lie. 
They change the subject. 
They ignore us. 
They even lie when the truth would work better. 
What’s with that?

It might just be that they need help with what I call the Rules of Engagement. T[b]hey don’t always have the social awareness that lying will cause harm to the relationship. Once they get this, they try harder. [/b]
