{{Casus|A child with autism does not tell his father that the neighbor was aggressive. He thinks: “If I say that, I won’t be allowed to play at the neighbor’s house anymore.” The child manipulates information to protect an immediate need: maintaining calm and keeping access to the neighbor’s home (transactional behavior).
{{Casus|Een kind met autisme zegt niet tegen zijn vader dat de buurman agressief was. Het denkt: “Als ik dat zeg, mag ik niet meer bij de buren spelen.” Het kind manipuleert de informatie om een onmiddellijke behoefte te beschermen: rust bewaren en contact behouden (transactioneel handelen). Op langere termijn veroorzaakt dit echter andere problemen: de vader kan het kind minder vertrouwen, en een incident bij de buren had voorkomen kunnen worden als de waarheid bekend was.}}
In the long term, however, this creates other problems:

the father may trust the child less, and an incident at the neighbor’s could have been prevented if the truth had been told.}}

=== So, is that lying? ===
=== Is dat dan liegen? ===
Lying implies an intention to deceive and an awareness of its consequences. People with autism often lack that second component: they have limited awareness of broader context and long-term consequences. The behavior is therefore more a result of limited [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|context integration]] than of moral unwillingness or a lack of honesty.
Liegen veronderstelt een intentie om te misleiden én inzicht in de gevolgen daarvan. Bij mensen met autisme ontbreekt vaak dat tweede luik: ze overzien de bredere context en toekomstige gevolgen minder goed. Het gedrag is dus eerder een gevolg van beperkte [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|contextintegratie]]
dan van morele onwil of gebrek aan eerlijkheid.

=== Wat helpt in communicatie ===
* '''Ask clarifying questions''' instead of judging.   
* '''Stel verduidelijkende vragen''' in plaats van te oordelen.   
* '''Explain explicitly why truth or openness matters''' in that situation.   
* '''Geef expliciet aan waarom waarheid of openheid belangrijk is''' in die situatie.   
* '''Highlight consequences''' in both the short and long term, making context more visible.   
* '''Benoem gevolgen''' op korte én lange termijn, zodat de context zichtbaar wordt.   
* '''Acknowledge''' that “truth” has different layers factual, social, and emotional.
* '''Erken''' dat “waarheid” verschillende lagen heeft feitelijk, sociaal en emotioneel.
