Children with autism or Asperger Syndrome (AS) have difficulty
understanding figurative language because they use and comprehend
language literally and expect words to mean exactly what they say.
This can often lead to misunderstandings at home and in the
classroom. Jude Welton looks at a hundred of the most common
figures of speech in this visual workbook designed as a springboard
for family and classroom discussions. Each figure of speech is
accompanied by an illustration showing its literal meaning, which
will help AS children recognize and learn to enjoy metaphors and
figurative language. The book can be used by parents one-to-one
with their ASD child. Teachers can also use the book as the basis
for classroom work on figurative language.
Tomas is a little boy who loves trains, trampolines and his dog
Flynn. He hates sudden noise, surprises and changes in routine.
There are many things about Tomas that make him special and unique,
but despite his differences he loves fun and friendship - just like
you. This beautifully illustrated, rhyming book is a perfect
introduction to autism for young readers aged 2 and over, including
children on the autism spectrum and their friends and siblings. In
helping the reader get to know Tomas, the book encourages children
to recognise what they have in common with him, not just what makes
him different.
