I almost gave up on The Rosie Effect. Sure, I enjoyed The Rosie Project. But it did not make me feel like I had to read the sequel. So I mulled over striking it off my reading list. However, just before I did I went back to Bill Gates’ blog to re-read his post about it. It raved about it, so I kept it on the list.
I’m glad I did. As Gates points out, life through the prism of autism provides a surprisingly identifiable view of the human condition.
It picks up a while after The Rosie Project finishes and tells the story of Don and Rosie as they prepare to start a family.
I also found out that “cross-nursing”, the practice of swapping babies to feed, can be beneficial for the immune system of the child. However, a little research suggests there are serious risks and other complications. Anyway, something to discuss with Elina later…
