If the first book asks how neurodivergent people find romantic love, this book asks how they might deal with anticipating children. We further explore the prejudices against those on the autism spectrum, and get a closer look at Don’s struggles as he tries to navigate this new life direction. Rosie has compelling issues of her own, and the cumulative effect will leave you laughing out loud one moment and crying the next. Let the marital misunderstandings commence!
