An Asperger Dictionary of Everyday Expressions

Resource Type

Book - Parent/Child

Description

"Both informative and entertaining, the book addresses an important aspect of social communication for people with Asperger syndrome, who use direct, precise language and "take things literally". This dictionary aims to dispel any confusion that arises from the misinterpretation of language. It provides explanations of over 5000 idiomatic expressions and a useful guide to their politeness level. Each expression is accompanied by a clear explanation of its meaning and when and how it might be used. The expressions are taken from British and American English, with some Australian expressions included as well." book description, specialneeds.com
