Did you know very young children and those with Asperger Syndrome often take language to its literal extremes?

Many children with AS interpret things literally. As a result, comments like 'pull up your socks', 'don't hold your breath', 'jump the gun', 'is here and now' and so on, lead to confusion and sometimes inappropriate responses. It must then be explained why the response was inappropriate and what response would have been correct. This would also assist with improving the social skills of the child.
To avoid literal interpretation, childcare professionals should avoid idioms or double entendres and be aware that children with AS do not understand sarcasm or irony.

Republican candidate admits supporting eugenics
By Amber McDowell in Nashville, Tennessee
04 August 2004

The Republican congressional candidate James L Hart has acknowledged that he is an unapologetic supporter of eugenics, the fake science that resulted in thousands of people being sterilised in an attempt to purify the white race.

He believes the country will look "like one big Detroit" - which has a large African-American population - if it doesn't eliminate welfare payments and immigration. He believes that if blacks were integrated centuries ago, the automobile would never have been invented.
