Asperger Dictionary of Everyday Expressions 2nd Ed. by Ian Stuart-Hamilton EPUB

2004, 2007 Jessica Kingsley 256 pages

This revised and expanded edition adds over 300 new expressions that help unlock the meaning of everyday expressions.

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.

Although the book is primarily intended for people with Asperger Syndrome, it will be useful for anyone who has problems understanding idiomatic and colloquial English. An essential resource and an informative read; this dictionary will assist in a wide range of situations.

Although designed specifically for people with Asperger's Syndrome, this also works as a compact reference for anyone trying to find out what "Queensberry Rules" actually are and, if they are said to be rolling in it, what "it" is. Stuart-Hamilton chooses expressions that have legs, so to speak, staying away from contemporary slang (too short-lived) and literary and classical expressions (annoying to nearly everyone, not just those with Asperger's Syndrome}. He makes sure each expression has a logical (and often entertaining) definition and notes whether each is unlikely, may, or will offend. -- Booknews

Stuart-Hamilton (developmental psychology, U. of Glanmorgan) delivers once again in this dictionary of idiomatic expressions, expanded in this edition to over 5,000 entries. Although designed specifically for people with Asperger's Syndrome, this also works as a compact reference for anyone trying to find out what "Queensbury Rules" actually are and, if they are said to be rolling in it, what "it" is. Stuart-Hamilton chooses expressions that have legs, so to speak, staying away from contemporary slang (too short-lived) and literary and classical expressions (annoying to nearly everyone, not just those with Asperger's Syndrome). He makes sure each expression has a logical (and often entertaining) definition and notes whether each is unlikely, may, or will always offend.
