Oky, so call me an awful person.  I saw this story a couple of days ago, but I didn't go with because it sounded fishy to me.  Turns out I was right.  Here's the story:

So there's this autistic kid who wakes up one morning and all of his X-Box achievements are gone.  Also he has the word "cheater" next to his name.  His mother complains to the media and gets a lot of people all excited.  After Microsoft supplied some evidence, however, she's telling a different story:

Stephen Toulouse, Microsoft's Director of Police and Enforcement wrote, "The account Zombie Kill67 transferred from the Xbox it is normally seen on, to an Xbox in another city.  The account earned several achievements for Halo-3 that can only be done online and in succession.  It was clear they were unlocked out of order and offline.  Earning successive online achievements out of order and offline is an impossible feat, not due to skill, but due to the technology of the system.  It can only be done by modifying the account and faking the achievements."

It's an Xbox Crime that could have only been committed with Julias' gamertag and password.

Now Julias' mother, Jennifer Zdenek, says her son did give his information to a fellow gamer online so he could get what is known as "Recon Armor". Zdenek says, "My son did give his Gamertag.  I did warn him about this but seeing it wasn't a bank password or anything big, it's just a game we didn't worry about it too much and the boy just offered to give him Recon Armor, which he did." Microsoft says it doesn't matter who the player is, cheaters will be sanctioned.  Jennifer denies Julias meant to cheat, he only wanted that special armor, now she just wants to put it behind them.

Zdenek says, "I decided the energy I needed to put into fighting a company as big as Microsoft is just too much for me right now and too much for my son and my main focus is him and helping him get through life."

Autistic people and our families really are just like anyone else-- we lie and cheat, too.
