I've had a few friends over the years with high-functioning autism or Asperger's and sometimes when they were nervous and trying to avoid trouble or stress they would lie. They just weren't very good at it. They didn't lie in like the AsPD sort of way. It was just when they were nervous or flustered or thought **** was gonna hit the fan or something, and they were trying to come up with the 'right' response to make the situation go away or something. It was its own flavor of lying and not malicious or parasitic in nature. I have known someone though who claimed to have Asperger's and I'm pretty sure they were just a run of the mill sociopath. I think that happens a lot in order to get more sympathy and free passes, and then it makes a bad name for people who are actually autistic.

My 2 cents.
