    A man born with no jaw says people run away from him in terror \u2013 but finding love has helped him through.<\/p>\n

    Joseph Williams, who works as a welder, was born with otofacial syndrome, a rare congenital disorder which is caused by a mutated gene. It meant that he was born without the ability to speak or eat \u2013 he can only communicate through sign language or a text-to-speech-app on his phone.<\/p>\n

    As well as his visible deformity, Joseph also has issues with his hearing and sense of smell. \u201cI get all kinds of responses," he told the Love Don't Judge podcast,"such as people running form me because they are scared, or they would scream or cry.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Joseph hopes to become a DJ, but his only other wish is for people to stop staring at him as if he\u2019s a freak. He said: \u201cI understand that I am different and that some people will think I am ugly and not accept me, but I am still a person who has a heart, feelings and a brain,\u201d he says.. \u201cI should be treated with respect, just as anyone else should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

    He had never expected to find love, until he met Vania. She says she couldn\u2019t quite believe what she was seeing when she first caught sight of him: \u201cI first met Joe at work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI saw him walk into the building. It was early in the morning\u2026 I was thinking to myself \u2018Am I really seeing this?\u2019 \u2013 I didn't want to talk to him because I was curious but I didn't want to be rude and ask him what happened to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

    But romance quickly blossomed between the two.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI realised I had feelings for her on the second day,\u201d Joseph says. \u201cShe came to work and when she turned the corner and saw me she had a smile on her face and I thought \u2018That's the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.\u2019 Then when I walked past her station she signed the word \u2018Hi\u2019 to me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
