In order to hook up autistic people with non-autistic people a service has to either
In case 1 the question is
In case 2 the question is
Related info re one of my questions:
Autistic individuals are more likely to be LGBTQ+ - University of Cambridge
"the study found that autistic adults and adolescents are approximately eight times more likely to identify as asexual and ‘other’ sexuality than their non-autistic peers. And there were sex differences in sexual orientation: autistic males are 3.5 times more likely to identify as bisexual than non-autistic males, whereas autistic females are three times more likely to identify as homosexual than non-autistic females."
I apreciate that. But that reserch still shows 75% (3 in 4) autistic males are straight and only 8% are homosexual. Homosexual dating runs through very difrent chanels and has difrent culture to hetrosexual dating. In short I'm not aware of any evidence that gay autistic people strugel relative to their NT counterparts. If you have some I'd be keen to see it. I think that answers question 2?

I feel uncomfortable with various aspects of your overall premise, so - having flagged my initial thoughts / reactions - will step away from the discussion. No offence intended; it's an interesting subject overall and I'm interested to read anything that others may post.
