Whether you have a formal diagnosis, identify as autistic without one, or are still figuring out what that word means for you, this group was built for you. Virtual. Ongoing. Small. A therapy group for autistic adults who are done masking in the spaces meant to help them.

About this group: A space that gets it, without you having to explain it

This is an ongoing, therapist-led virtual therapy group for autistic adults. It blends clinical support, practical skills, and real community, in a space where your neurology is not a problem to be solved, but a valid way of being in the world.

Each session centers on a theme you'll know in advance ( identity and unmasking, burnout and energy management, relationships, sensory experiences, work, communication, self-advocacy) with room for open discussion and optional structured elements like reflection prompts or brief exercises. You can show up however feels right: speaking, listening, or somewhere in between.

You might be a good fit if...

• You identify as autistic: formally diagnosed, self-identified, or still exploring

• You're 18 or older, any gender

• You've felt out of place in more neurotypical therapy environments

• You want to connect with others who think and experience the world similarly

• You want a space to participate at your own pace, without pressure to perform socially

All starting points are welcome, whether you're newly curious about autism, recently diagnosed or self-identified, or well into your autistic identity and looking for deeper support and community. All genders. LGBTQ+ affirming.

All of who you are is welcome here

This group is affirming across gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, disability, and background. You do not need to leave any part of yourself at the door.

A note on intersecting identities: Being autistic doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of who you are. The experience of autism looks and feels different depending on your gender, your racial and cultural background, your sexuality, and the many other identities you carry, and those intersections shape everything from how autism presents, to how it's been recognized or missed, to how you've been treated in clinical and social spaces. Whoever you are, your full experience is relevant here, not just the parts that fit a narrow idea of what autism is supposed to look like.

What to expect

If group therapy, or even the idea of it, has felt overwhelming before, here's what's different here: You'll know the session theme in advance, so there are no surprises. No one will be put on the spot. There are always multiple ways to participate, speaking is one option, not the only one. The goal is a space structured enough to feel grounded, and open enough to go where members feel they need it to go.

Why I Created This Group:
I created this group because I kept seeing the same gap. In my work with autistic adults, including many who came to me in the middle of a diagnosis, freshly diagnosed, or who had known for years but never found a space that felt truly made for them, isolation was almost always part of the picture. Not just being alone, but the specific exhaustion of moving through a world that wasn't built for the way your brain works, without anyone to say they’ve felt the same way.

I've spent years doing assessment and therapy with autistic and neurodivergent adults. I've sat with people at every stage of that journey. I started this group because I believed I had something genuinely useful to offer, and because I think community is one of the most powerful things therapy can provide.

An in-person therapy group for autistic men who are tired of figuring it out alone.

About this group

This is an ongoing, therapist-led in-person therapy group for autistic men. It's a small, low-pressure space to connect with others who think and experience the world similarly, and to do so face to face, in the same room, which is rarer than it should be.

The group blends clinical support, practical skills, and real community. Each session centers on a theme you'll know in advance (identity and unmasking, burnout, relationships, work, communication, emotional awareness, day-to-day life) with room for open discussion and optional structured elements like reflection prompts or brief exercises. You can show up however feels right: speaking, listening, or somewhere in between. No one will be put on the spot.

The group is open to autistic men who are formally diagnosed, self-identified, or still exploring whether autism is part of their story.

You might be a good fit if...

• You identify as autistic: formally diagnosed, self-identified, or still exploring

• You identify as male

• You've felt out of place in more neurotypical social or therapy environments

• You want to connect with others who think and experience the world similarly

• You want a space to participate at your own pace, without pressure to perform socially

Why in-person, and why men specifically

Virtual therapy groups are valuable, but there's something distinct about being physically present with other people. Shared space, real eye contact or the freedom to avoid it, the particular ease that can come from sitting with others who get it without a screen between you. For many autistic men, this kind of in-person connection is something they've rarely had access to in a therapeutic context.

A men's group also creates something that's hard to find elsewhere. Autistic men are statistically the most recognized group in autism research, and yet often wanting for emotional resources. The cultural script around male stoicism, self-sufficiency, and not asking for help runs headlong into what therapy actually requires. And for autistic men, that collision is often unexamined and exhausting.

Many autistic men have also spent their lives feeling like they don't quite fit the cultural script around male friendship either, the kind that might surface-level, that doesn't make room for depth or honesty or difference. This group is built to provide a new experience from that.

Identity & belonging

This group is affirming across race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and background. Being autistic doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of who you are. The experience of autism looks and feels different depending on your racial and cultural background, your sexuality, the expectations placed on you around masculinity, and the many other identities you carry, and those intersections shape everything from how autism presents, to how it's been recognized or missed, to how you've been treated in clinical and social spaces. This group pays active attention to that. Whoever you are, your full experience is relevant here, not just the parts that fit a narrow idea of what autism, or manhood, is supposed to look like.

Why I created this group

I created this group for the same reason I created my general autism therapy group, because I kept seeing the same gap. In my work with autistic adults, including assessment and therapy with people at every stage of that journey, isolation was almost always part of the picture. Not just being alone, but the specific exhaustion of moving through a world that wasn't built for the way your brain works, without anyone to say they've felt the same way.

But I also kept seeing something specific in the men I worked with. Many of them had spent years being told, explicitly or implicitly, that needing support was a weakness, that struggling quietly was just what you did, that the kind of depth and honesty they craved in connection wasn't something they were supposed to want. Autism added its own layer to that. And the combination had often been lonely in a very particular way.

I started this group because I believe there's something genuinely powerful about autistic men being in a room together, not performing, not managing, just present with people who understand. I've seen what that kind of community can make possible. This group exists to offer it.
