YMMV / The Rosie Project

• Diagnosed by the Audience: played with. Don is fairly obviously on the autistic spectrum, and he knows what autism is - the first novel opens with him giving a lecture on Asperger's Syndrome to a group of autistic children and their parents. But he resists being diagnosed as autistic himself until the end of the third book because, as he says, he has been offered many psychological diagnoses over a lifetime and doesn't want another one, especially as people's assumptions about autism are usually unhelpful.
