THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘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.

Such a moving and heartfelt book. It captures not only the challenges of raising children with special educational needs in a world that so often falls short of supporting SEN families, but also the joy, resilience, and love that shape their lives.

As a health professional working within a CLDT, I found it incredibly insightful. It offers an honest window into the realities SEN families face; the emotional weight, the practical hurdles, and the constant need for advocacy.

A truly touching tribute to Jude and Tommy, written with such love and authenticity.

Such a moving and heartfelt book
