I can honestly say he is incapable of lying, he really is. He will tell the truth even if he knows he will be in trouble for something. Now this of course comes in handy when the kids have been up to something, I can always ask Austin and know I will get the truth. But at the same time this makes me worry for him...He is an easy target because of his innocence, people take advantage of his being so pure and kind, and honest to a fault. When I see my Nephew I feel I am getting a glimpse into Russells future. Its hard to explain Austin, but he is honest to God incapable of hurting, or being mean, or lying or decieving anyone...He has really genuine qualities that make him so very special and unique.<br />Now I'm not saying ALL kids with Ds or Autism display the SAME qualities...I am just saying SOME do, so that theory is possible and correct for some :)<br />Hope some of this made sense!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040699928110444013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-27549051438977446172010-10-10T15:18:58.000-04:002010-10-10T15:18:58.000-04:00Never one to be left out, I had to do my own blog ...Never one to be left out, I had to do my own blog post as well. LOL And no, Angela cannot assess risk. We're just starting to be able to leave her home alone for a hour to 90 minutes at a time. We ALWAYS go over the "don't answer the door for ANYONE." rule before we leave, but I worry. My neighbor has stopped by once when we were gone. Angela did not open the door, but she did stand in the window right next to it, watching him. She didn't refuse to open the door because it was dangerous, but because Mom said not to. Whatever, I guess, right? Anyway, here's the link to my blog post.<br />http://gardenofeagan.blogspot.com/2010/10/myth-or-fact-on-lying.htmlLeah Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326240393099112570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-12110673952548167662010-10-09T15:30:51.122-04:002010-10-09T15:30:51.122-04:00Hmm. Interesting. I have not really thought about ...Hmm. Interesting. I have not really thought about it before. Beth will be 26 tomorrow and even though she never lied to escape punishment (like say, her sister who at 17 took off with friends, drove all night to another state... for donuts, and told us she was sleeping at a friends house) but Beth does lie sometimes. When she goes into her sisters room to look for money. The $5 is missing from the dresser and even though Beth insists she didn't take it, she'll come out later with the money. Head hung low. She says she only had one string cheese, when 4 wrappers are sitting at her feet. She tells us how she should behave, not how she did behave.<br /><br />She definitely cannot access risk. That is a correct assumption. That's the reason we do not allow her to use the stove when she is home alone. It's why I get SO nervous when she walks to the store by herself. <br /><br />It's why I pray, a lot. :)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760897671143549963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-24991362189654633702010-10-09T15:29:02.442-04:002010-10-09T15:29:02.442-04:00I am giggling as I read this post.

LOL<br /><br />Had to check out Tamara's post.
