Feeling isolated as a neurodivergent man? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April talks modern masculinity for ND men with Josh Fineman, founder of Mensch—a North London community helping guys unplug from pressure and reconnect via men's circles, nature challenges, and 1:1 coaching. For autistic/ADHD young fathers (35-40s sweet spot), Josh addresses loneliness, purpose voids, and disconnection from self—blending ancient wisdom/modern tools for emotional courage and growth.

Key insights:

• Core pressures: Ticking boxes (career/family) while losing self—loneliness from no village support.


• Men's circles magic: Safety (confidentiality/no fixing) + challenge (calling forward) for shared growth.


• Nature therapy anxiety: Grounding (feet on grass/breath), tree "waving" for ND calm.


• Unlocking purpose: Non-linear—trust instincts, small steps (follow curiosity, no one-fix pressure).


• Vulnerability wins: Brotherhood normalizes it; emerge via community, not solo.

If you're an ND man battling isolation, burnout, or "proving" yourself (like Josh's zigzags to mentorship), this ep inspires action. Free call at bemoremensch.com—build your tribe!
