[quote=Anonymous]There was a great article about this on ADDitude recently. I didn't find the link, but the basic point was that kids with ADHD can be 'sneaky' because they struggle finding ways to explain or ask for things when they know it might be an issue. So they just do them as a way to avoid the frustration. There was a similar article about lying that I did find - http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/5705.html - and the conclusion was that when the child does something they were asked not to (or didn't do something they were asked to), they lie instead of admitting to the forgetfulness. That it wasn't outright disobedience, but rather a function of the ADHD and its disorganization and other symptoms.[/quote]
