‘For families who might sometimes feel that they are drowning in wave after wave of problems, this book could be a lifeline. Wonderful, readable and wonderfully inspiring.’ Sir Stephen Fry

‘Honest, raw, tender and so incredibly powerful.’ Anna Mathur

‘This book is for the parent lying awake at 3am, Googling traits and therapies and trying to hold it all together. It’s for the families who feel like they’ve been dropped into a different world without a map. It’s not a guidebook. It’s not a list of tips and tricks. It’s a story. Our story. And maybe, in some small way, it’s yours too.’

James Hunt is the founder of the Stories About Autism community, where hundreds of thousands of people follow his life as a father raising two autistic, non-speaking sons. In Love Needs No Words, he shares what it’s really like to navigate the meltdowns, the sleepless nights and the unexpected challenges – as well as the breakthroughs, the joy and the moments of connection.

This honest memoir about autism parenting from a dad’s perspective offers comfort, solidarity and hope. Written with warmth and understanding, it will help caregivers see that, while life might look different from how they imagined, it can still be filled with growth and love.

I have just finished listening to Love Needs No Words and honestly, where do I even start?

To read (or listen to) a book that is so unbelievably relatable, yet explains everything so perfectly, brings out every emotion. I sobbed, I smiled and I have never felt so understood and connected to something before.

This book is incredible for families with neurodivergent people in their lives, but I honestly believe that if you know anyone with a neurodivergent child, you should read it. It gives such a real understanding of the emotions, feelings, struggles and worries that families face.

Thank you James, for writing such an honest and beautiful book about your life with your wonderful boys. Thank you for putting into words so many of the feelings that so many of us live every day.
