WrongPlanet used to have a dating service built in, it was called "Aspie Affections" it wasn't popular and is no longer used.

So tried and failed.

I forgot their names. The woman had “witch” in her name. The guy was into fixing cars.

A guy named Nick met his longtime girlfriend here. He still posts here occasionally. He moved from Louisiana to Vermont to live with her about 8-9 years ago.

There have been other couples and at least one other marriage. I’ve been here 6 1/2 years.

So, six people, from thousands of others who have come and gone through the years; that's less than 1%.

Not enough of a trend to warrant change.

No offense, but the majority of guys on here are low income/on disability, live with their parents and don’t have a full time job. None of those things appeal to me.
I’m a finically independent woman with a career and I expect the same from the men I date.

Leave it to Fnord to tell us we're useless.

I'm not in that bracket anyway.

Leave it to cberg to tell a lie about me.  I did NOT tell anyone they were useless.

So maybe then you ought to think twice before generalizing.

I don't appreciate being stereotyped as someone I'm not. This goes to show that having HFA supersedes the truth of who I am for most of you.

Frankly if this is the way I'm seen as an autistic guy, give me one good reason to give a damn about dating.

You will have to master English grammar a little better. None of us can decipher this sentence.

Because both AS and NT women dislike AS men.. it is like having a blind person take you for walk - you will crash and you won't get far.

I did get an online gf on WP one time.. she reached out and picked me though..
