Love Needs No Words: Fatherhood, Non-Speaking Communication and Finding Connection Beyond Language with James Hunt

James Hunt, founder of the Stories About Autism community and SAA Clothing, and author of Love Needs No Words, joins Dr Emma Offord for a tender conversation about fatherhood, communication and connection. James is dad to Jude, 18, and Tommy, 15, both autistic, non-speaking and living with global developmental delay. He shares how one Facebook post grew into a community of hundreds of thousands, and how his family have found ways to communicate without spoken words, from eyes and body language to AAC devices and, more recently, nightly text messages with Tommy. Together, James and Emma talk about Jude turning 18, the fear and hope of watching him grow more independent, living with the uncertainty of Tommy's tics, and the small sensory rituals that keep James grounded. Honest, warm and full of heart.Follow James on Instagram @storiesaboutautism.Find out more at divergentlife.co.uk.This Voice Is Mine: The Unquiet Podcast.
