Picture someone plowing fields (to take his name literally) using a ruler and a T-square, and that would be Don. Once again the hero - and he might well be called that, given the arduous and perplexing course he must steer through life - is Don Tillman. Simsion’s follow-up - The Rosie Effect - is on shelves now and appears to be equally as popular as its predecessor. The book was an international best seller with a screenplay optioned. Perhaps a sign of how familiar society has become with Asperger’s syndrome is the success of Australian author Graeme Simsion’s The Rosie Project, whose protagonist exhibits autistic spectrum behaviors.
