Don Tillman is basically a walking Excel sheet in professor form—precision-engineered schedule, color-coded meals (hello, Tuesday Tacos), and more social algorithms than Google. Relationships? Hard pass—until he launches The Wife Project: a 16-page questionnaire designed to weed out smokers, late-arrivers, and anyone who messes with the thermostat.

Enter Rosie Jarman: cocktail-shaking tornado, chronic latecomer, and every “deal-breaker” in Don’s code… which naturally means she hacks his system like a rogue script kiddie. Suddenly Mr. Order finds himself dodging spontaneous adventures, DNA hunts for Rosie's bio-dad, and emotions that can’t be graphed on a scatterplot.

Why it screams AUTISTIC REPRESENTATION (even if no one drops the “A-word”):

• Routine Royalty – Don’s schedule is sacred. Break it and prepare for DEFCON-1.

• Logic Overload – Feelings are fine, but could everyone please supply the data first?

• Social Scripts FTW – Conversations run smoother when you’ve pre-written the dialogue.

• Sensory Simplicity – Standardized meal plan = fewer surprise textures.

Yet Don’s not “fixed” by love—he iterates. Rosie meets him where he is, glitches included, and together they prove that autistic brains aren’t romance-proof; they just run a slightly different operating system.

Bottom line: You can keep your candlelit clichés—give us a love story built on honesty, spreadsheets, and Tuesday Tacos any day.
