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
I re-joined two prominent online 'dating' services not long before my recent diagnosis, then amended my 'bio' to make it explicitly clear I have ASD.Whether generated artificially or not is unknown, but my profile (based on photo) continues to receive quite a lot of views.....but little more. Trouble is, 90% or more of those views received are from women with completely opposite life experience: my age range but with grown up kids! The follow-up messaging contact has almost exclusively been scammers. I really like the thought processes in this thread, but reality (dammit) dictates that such efforts are unlikely to work in my opinion.....
just tweek the age range to all ages but add 'no kids' as a search filter and see what you get.
Have you considered that maybe the solution is to date women who are outside of your age range but who's life experence is similar? Maybe applying flexability to the search result to give priority to autisic peoples matching critera is another way we can give autisic people an advantage.
Say autistic person A has 8 people who match his search criteria. But he doesn't match any of those 8 peoples search criteria. Maybe we show A's profile to them anyway.
