Hi there, I have just joined as I have a 19 year old autistic son who at times can be lonely. He has stated he would like to find a girlfriend but we have no idea on where to start due to it feeling overwhelming and difficult to find information about possible specialist dating sites etc.
we were think of Match.com or something like this, but not sure if there are better suited ones we are based in the Croydon area and he is a very happy boy generally and loves cars and animals
any advice would be fantastic thanks
Hi and welcome to the community!
I don't have any personal experience of it (as I'm not dating), but the Mattr dating app has been advertised to me a few times on social media.
It's only London-focused at the moment, but I believe Croydon is considered to be part of London these days :)
They say:
"We are proud to be the first neurodivergent-friendly dating app."
"We're all about community, real people, real connections, inclusive to all".
"Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or just looking for something...different, our app is unique with verification and accessibility features to support you."
"Mattr has many unique features but to name a few here: time out toggle, neurodivergent-friendly features, honesty box, face verification and no-swipe behaviour."
