‘This book is for the parent lying awake at 3am, Googling symptoms and therapies and trying to hold it all together. It’s for the dad who doesn’t know how to talk about what he’s feeling but knows that something isn’t right.
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 Stories About Autism, 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 is an honest memoir about autism parenting from a dad’s perspective, offering 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.

‘Somewhere along the way, sharing our story stopped being about just helping others understand Jude and Tommy. It became about building something I didn’t know I needed. Community. Connection. A reminder that we’re not doing this on our own.’

James Hunt is engaged with national media such as Metro and i Newspaper, Made By Mamas podcast, as well as major organisations like Oral B, Fujitsu, and Procter & Gamble, a Tesco, Audible, and Motability.  With strong connections in both the UK and US parenting and autism communities, he’s built relationships with influential voices who champion his message.
