This week we welcome James from the www.myherojoshua.co.uk blog. This is one of my lengthier podcast episodes but it's needed, as James discusses the many obstacles that he has experienced in his life. From meeting his wife, to celebrating their first pregnancy, to having to face a premature birth of their twin boys, to losing their son but having to also deal with the heartache of his twin brother being extremely ill at birth too. We discuss Joshua's health complications and how, as a family they have overcome all these complications together as a strong family unit. James also discusses how he was diagnosed with autism as an adult and the implications this has had on his personal life, work life and more importantly his family life. This is one of my lengthier podcast episodes but also one that I am so proud to have been able to record. James is so open and honest and I have learnt so much about the subject and I hope you guys can learn from James too.
