Jo Case, writing in Australian Book Review, says 'the overall effect will be...to increase understanding [of autism] and to refute some common myths.' [15]

Conversely, Researcher Anna N. de Hooge sees the book as supporting 'Aspie supremacy' which she compares with anti-autistic ableism as 'two sides of the same coin', while noting the concept has its defenders. [20] Awards [ edit ] The Rosie Project is a 2013 Australian novel by Australian novelist Graeme Simsion. The novel centres on genetics professor Don Tillman, who struggles to have serious relationships with women. With a friend's help, he devises a questionnaire to assess the suitability of female partners. His plans are set off course when he meets Rosie, who does not fit many of Tillman's criteria, but becomes a big part of his life. The work was first published on 30 January 2013 in Australia by Text Publishing and the rights have since been sold in over 40 other countries. [1] International sales are in excess of 3.5 million copies and the book was named Book of the Year for 2014 by the Australian Book Industry Association. [2] In the United States the novel was published through Simon & Schuster and in the United Kingdom through Penguin Books. Author Helen Hoang says 'reading The Rosie Project was an experience for me. It was the first time I'd been exposed to a character like Don, and I treasured him. I identified with him in a rare way. [16]

Don Tillman is an Australian genetics professor who has spent his days organising his life with the expectation that it will reduce inefficiency, improve himself as a person, and make him an all around happier person. He does not fit in well with others, which has kept Don from dating and having a satisfying romantic life. This is something that confounds him, as he believes that his IQ, physical health, finances, and social status should otherwise make him an appealing mate. After some thinking, Don decides that he will test Gene and that he will also try to persuade Rosie to marry himself, as he has discovered that he is genuinely attracted to her. Despite trying to change to fit what he believes she needs, Don is rejected by Rosie when he says that he does not feel love like others do. However, this rejection causes Don to realise that he actually does love Rosie. He also decides to confront her father Phil over her father issues, as Rosie felt neglected because she believed that Phil prioritised his career over her and failed to fulfil a promise to go to Disneyland, a move that she views as representative of their relationship as a whole. a b Fleming, Mike Jr. " 'Rosie Project' Has Lord & Miller Circling To Helm Neustadter & Weber Script".

Don arrives at the scene just in time to watch Phil punch Gene (as Phil had been dating Rosie's mother at the time of her conception), after which Don and Rosie reconcile and she agrees to marry him. Rosie also reconciles with her father Phil and after she marries Don, the two of them move to New York to start anew. The book ends with Don running a final test on a sample of Phil's DNA. This test confirms that Phil was her biological father after all, and the whole issue was raised by Rosie's mother because of Gene's negligence in explaining to his students the rules of eye colour inheritance. Thus, Rosie finds out about her biological father and her mother's secret love affair remains a secret. Sollosi, Mary (27 July 2015). "Richard Linklater in talks to direct Jennifer Lawrence in The Rosie Project" . Retrieved 21 September 2015. After spending time with his best friend and womanising colleague Gene and his wife Claudia, Don comes up with the idea of the "Wife Project", a questionnaire that would help find the perfect mate. This turns out to be something more easily done in theory, as his questionnaire fails to produce a satisfactory woman and alienates many potential candidates.
