David Finch is a lot of things: he’s an Autism and Neurodiversity consultant, the author of The Journal of Best Practices; A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband, an essayist for the New York Times Modern Love column…and he’s also UNmarried.

In this two-part special episode of No Filter, David Finch opens up to Mia Freedman about his life before and after his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis, his quest to be the best husband and father he could be…and how he ended up UNmarried (and what that even means).
