To Siri with Love: A Mother, Her Autistic Son, and the Kindness of Machines

Expanding her internationally acclaimed New York Times op-ed article into a full-length book of the same name, Newman shares insights into her experience living with family members who have autism. Newman relates how her son Gus has helped her and her family see the world through his eyes and what a revelation that has been for them. Beginning when Gus and his twin brother were born and continuing through to the present, Newman shares her sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always insightful and upbeat recollections of their life. She touches on many of the issues of autism, but this is not a "how to" book. It is a positive yet honest look into one family's journey with autism, and among others, how technology, especially Siri, was helpful to Gus. Straightforward and to the point, Newman's book presents a realistic yet optimistic view of autism in their family.
