I read about this a few days ago, I hope the cop is sacked. One thing cops should lern is Aspies rarely lie - you need social skills for that. Also, other research has shown that Aspies are less likely to suffer from False Memories - we are better and more reliable witnesses then NTs.
Lastly, I read that children remember events differently - children record information literally (like a recording) but adults remember the meaning of events leading them to create false memories. I'm sure Aspies use memory the same as children,I certainly record memories like a video tape. In fact, when I remember things I find myself struggling to extract the social meaning of my memories.
While I definatly think aspies can lie just as well as NT's and can suffer from failed memories just as much, I do agree at least for me that I record my memories like a video, very literally, and so my memory does not fail me much at all. I am surprised to hear that kids do that to but not adults! I wonder why that is?
