About this event

We are delighted to welcome James Hunt to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of his new book, Love Needs No Words.

 

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.

 

James will discuss his new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.

 

James Hunt began sharing his life as a parent to two autistic sons through his blog Stories About Autism in 2015. What started as a personal outlet has grown into an award-winning community, now with over a million followers across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. He hosts the Stories About Autism Podcast, where he interviews other parents, autistic adults and professionals, further deepening his connection within the autism world.
