I have just finished reading The Rosie Result and I don't have a question. Just utter praise. As a father of a son on the autism spectrum, and whose psychologist says she wouldn't at all be surpised if I were somewhere on the spectrum myself, I found your novel absolutely inspiring, and so, so funny. I knew nothing about the book, but am so happy I read this book. Amazing work and thank you for this truly great work?

Hi Adam
Thanks so much for being in touch and for your kind words. The Rosie Result is my personal favourite in the Rosie series, and the greatest satisfaction I get from my work is finding that something I've written has resonated with a reader. May autism be a positive in your son's life, and, if it's in yours, a positive too!

What is your writing process like? I'm one of those people who will sit and go for everything in a rough draft. I like to discover where I plan to go and not be bound by a set story. I normally will slowly shape the characters and story from this first draft. I really enjoyed The Rosie Project and the Don Tillman character, does that character share some of your traits or flaws?

Hello Graeme, I simply loved both your books. (I'm yet to finish the second one). I like to believe that Don doesn't really have Asperger's Syndrome, but is just odd and very close to such persons behaviorally. How did you intend him to be? My second question is, do you know someone like Don who inspired the character? I want to know how you were able to paint the character of someone like Don so vividly.
