Summary

Are you in the pudding club? Do you look like a dog's dinner? Have you joined the great majority? If you do not have Asperger's syndrome or another autism spectrum disorder, and you answer is in the affirmative in all cases, you know you are pregnant, badly dressed, and dead. If you do have Asperger's syndrome or the like, you have taken these questions literally rather than symbolically and are only just starting the process of interpreting them. Stuart-Hamilton (developmental psychology, U. of Glamorgan) lists hundreds of expressions so those with autism spectrum disorders and others (including the innocent, those new to UK culture and language and all the rest of us who cannot make sense of a certain symbolic phrases) can better sort out what those around us are saying. For example, you too may be relieved to discover that "bear fruit" involves neither bears nor fruit. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
