505 8 |a He's got the wrong end of the stickShortened Expressions; He had the sun in his eye; Put the kettle on; I feel like a pizza; Everyday Expressions and Sayings; He's driving me up the wall; His head is in the clouds; I've got some time on my hands; It's hard to get your head around it; To cry your eyes out; A square meal; He has a sweet tooth; He gave me a piece of his mind; My head was spinning; I laughed my head off; To have a face like thunder; I worked my socks off; It's not my cup of tea; We didn't meet eye to eye; He is all ears; To bend over backwards; That's how the cookie crumbles.

520 |a The English language can be extremely confusing and illogical, especially for people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who interpret meaning in a very literal way. Why should an announcement that cats and dogs are falling from the sky indicate heavy rain? And what have chickens got to do with being a coward? It's Raining Cats and Dogs is a witty and stylish insight into the mind of someone with an ASD. It beautifully illustrates why people with ASDs have problems understanding common phrases and idioms that others accept unquestioningly as part of everyday speech. The quirky drawings will.
