Dating With Autism & The Benefits of Mens Groups

I recently had the opportunity to join Harry Wilmington on his podcast Harry Dating Convos for a powerful conversation about men, relationships, and what it means to navigate the world with authenticity.

The episode covers topics close to my heart:

• Dating with autism and the unique challenges that come with it.

• The benefits of men’s groups and why every man can benefit from being part of one.

• How men can approach relationships with greater self-awareness, vulnerability, and honesty.

As someone on the spectrum, I know firsthand how exhausting masking can be, especially in dating and relationships. Too often, men feel pressure to perform, to have all the answers, to hide their struggles. There is a real connection that comes when we drop the performance and lead with openness.

That’s why I’m passionate about the role of men’s groups. They create a safe, supportive environment where men can learn to share honestly, receive feedback, and build community. It’s in those spaces that growth happens—not just as partners, but as human beings.

I’m deeply grateful to Harry for inviting me onto his platform to share these perspectives. Conversations like these matter. They break stigma, encourage dialogue, and remind us that no one has to navigate relationships or life alone.

If you’re someone who masks in relationships, or if you’ve ever wondered how men’s groups can impact your growth, I think you’ll find a lot of value in this conversation.

Thanks again to Harry for holding the space and creating such a thoughtful platform.
