Kids Jokes is a wonderful British G-rated site.  One strategy to support people with ASD in going beyond the literal meaning of words and increasing their understanding of idioms, irony, and figurative language is the use of jokes and riddles. We've seen that many of our students really enjoy retelling jokes, riddles, and "knock-knocks" once they get it…once they've unlocked that special language puzzle that held the meaning.  Many of the entries are categorized, so focusing on "that special interest" can be an added motivator.
