For me it is a learned behavior, growing up i was indirectly taught that you should lie to stay out of trouble (my mum in particular role modeled this).

My Niece has started seeing a phsycologist who thinks she may also be on the spectrum. what is confusing the family at the moment is she is experiencing multiple personalities, which we didn't think was a potential symptom of being on the spectrum.
has anyone heard of this before? |

Has anyone heard of or tried the Integrated Listening System (http://integratedlistening.com/)? If so, did it work?
I am being told it can help calm my mind and reduce my shutdown response, which is a rather nice thought. |

I would like to know what you mean by that. Is it your beliefs? Your behavior and habits? Your childhood memories? If it... |

| Thank you for responding, you make a good point there that i hadn't thought of before. One of the reasons i did finally go for a diagnosis was some of the feedback i got on my dealing with clients, there is an emphasis in the company on the business networking side of things, which i struggle with. ... |
