A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2017
From the author of the viral New York Times op-ed column "To Siri with Love" comes a collection of touching, hilarious, and illuminating stories about life with a thirteen-year-old boy with autism that hold insights and revelations for us all.
When Judith Newman shared the story of how Apple’s electronic personal assistant, Siri, helped Gus, her son who has autism, she received widespread media attention and an outpouring of affection from readers around the world. Basking in the afterglow of media attention, Gus told anyone who would listen, "I’m a movie star."
Judith’s story of her son and his bond with Siri was an unusual tribute to technology. While many worry that our electronic gadgets are dumbing us down, she revealed how they can give voice to others, including children with autism like Gus—a boy who has trouble looking people in the eye, hops when he’s happy, and connects with inanimate objects on an empathetic level.
To Siri with Love is a collection of funny, poignant, and uplifting stories about living with an extraordinary child who has helped a parent see and experience the world differently. From the charming (Gus weeping with sympathy over the buses that would lie unused while the bus drivers were on strike) to the painful (paying $22,000 for a behaviorist in Manhattan to teach Gus to use a urinal) to the humorous (Gus’s insistence on getting naked during all meals, whether at home or not, because he does not want to get his clothes dirty) to the profound (how an automated "assistant" helped a boy learn how to communicate with the rest of the world), the stories in To Siri with Love open our eyes to the magic and challenges of a life beyond the ordinary.

They loved you, cared for you - and turned you into the demented person you are today. This hilarious collection brings you hundreds of true "can-you-believe-they-did-that?" acts perpetrated by well-meaning moms and dads across America. Holiday humiliations, guilt trips, blurted-out secrets that ruined your life - all sorts of parent bloopers and embarrassments that will have you shuddering, and howling with laughter: the father who insisted on singing every verse of "Sunrise, Sunset" at his daughter's bat mitzvah... and showing a slide show of her mother giving birth; the mother who reported her daughter's boyfriend to the police because she mistook his insulin syringes for the instruments of a drug dealer; the proud parents who displayed their daughter's every trophy and award, no matter how minor, causing her friends to call her house "The Shrine" and the mother who hammerlocked her son's neck, bent him over, and pointed out to his college buddies where he was going bald.
