I really enjoyed The Rosie Project. I think the book does a good job of portraying the positives of Aspies. The scene early in the book of a room full of adolescent boys on the spectrum chanting "Aspies rule!" is an example of this.

I would feel uncomfortable with anyone chanting that anything "rules".

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and read it not knowing what Asperger's is. It's actually what twigged my partner to some of my "idiosyncrasies" that led me to the AQ test. I loved that "scene" (unsure of correct terminology) for a different reason - the part where they're all shouting "kill the baby!" :lol: Laughed my ass off.
