I cannot speak for others, but for myself it is a matter of keeping the world simple. People who lie must keep up with more than one version of reality, and which of their associates is aware of which parts of which versions. Makes me tired just thinking about it. I'm doing good to keep up with one version. It's as simple as that -- lying is too much work.
I suspect that the appeal of logic has the same source. It is a simple system with clearly defined rules and generally reliable outcomes.

I agree grizeldatee. I would imagine for the average aspie lying would usually be quite simply unappealing and unnecesarily difficult - I know that's how I tend to feel.
Lying can be aquired by aspies, regardless of the common misconception that "aspies cant lie". The ones of us who can do tend to be more frugal with lying directly. Normally its just a matter of leaving cleverly constructed ambigities in sentences.
