[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher. I don't see lying and ADHD as comorbidities at all. I think the lying is a coping mechanism. I have students who lie to their parents each night about homework assignment due dates and completion. Then, they turn around and tell me a different lie the next morning at school. They are absolutely devastated when they are caught. I try to be gentle with them and let them save face. Being a tween and teen is hard enough. Add SN to that and you have a tough middle school journey. But then, I worry that I'm just feeding the habit. Right now, I'm in an email back and forth with a mother who is convinced that I just assigned a multi-step research poster today and it is due tomorrow. It flies in the face of all logic and the evidence I sent her from Edline, but she believes her child. [/quote]
