• Slogans, Metaphors and Sayings

  For people with Asperger Syndrome…understanding a joke or a metaphor can be very difficult and most sayings will go unnoticed if you’re affected. Over the past few months I have actually been asking what they mean when I’ve seen, or heard them used and now I have a better understanding of them. They still didn’t make me laugh or anything as such but now I know what they mean I can use them.   
  

  ” A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush “: It’s better to have a small actual advantage than the chance of a greater one.

  ” People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones “: You shouldn’t criticize people for having that same faults that you yourself may have.

  “A penny saved is a penny earned “: By not spending money you’re saving money.

  For more Idioms and their explanations, search for ‘Idioms’ in a search engine such as Google or just click here. If you hear someone say an idiom, metaphor, slogan or a saying…just ask them what they mean by it or if you want you can write it down and ask someone laster. Alternatively ask me and I will find out for you!

  Don’t worry if you don’t understand a joke or find it funny: it’s something you need to learn to put up with. No one can blame you for not laughing at a joke. If you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it.
