Love Needs No Words
Love Needs No Words is a real insight into life raising a child with Special Educational Needs.
Amy and Kirsty - mums to two boys who are diagnosed Autistic share the highs and lows of their lives whilst interviewing brilliant guests along the way.
You will laugh, cry and hopefully feel a sense of security knowing that you are not alone on this journey. Which can sometimes feel very lonely and a little bit scary, especially at first.
Love Needs No Words got to the finals of the Quill Podcast Awards 2025 and the Independent Podcast Awards 2025 after being whittled down from thousands of entries and so has been recognised for its attention to detail and unique content.
So sit back, relax and enjoy! 💕
