(view spoiler)[Dear Mr. Simsion,
While reading both books of the I couldn't help but notice Don's distaste to religion; is he like the typical genius guy (That I have read and watched like Sheldon Cooper or Dr. House) an athiest? (hide spoiler)]

Hi Ani
I think we can deduce from his response to the student who doesn't believe in evolution that Don is not a fundamentalist! Don's a scientist and sees everything through a scientist's eyes - a strength and a weakness for him. So without (scientific) evidence, he's not likely to believe....

Dear Graeme, as someone who has Asperger's I'm impressed of your book. So accurate, interesting and optimistic – I loved it!! I think that Asperger's is a very interesting topic to write about, I write a romantic novel (also about Asperger's) and your book gave me some inspiration. It written incredibly good, you did a great job! Did you do some research about Asperger's? Do you have personal interest in it? Thanks.

Hey Graeme, lovely to meet you last year in Wellington - my question comes from a writer's perspective - you took five years for 'The Rosie Project' (I'm on year 4 with my first official work, so I get that, I do), how long did it take you to work on 'The Rosie Effect' before you felt confident enough to hand it over to the publishing house staff to peruse?

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?
