I suggest this: Use a free site like PlentyOfFish.com, but use out own searchable code word. We are on the "autism spectrum," so we might use "autspec" in out list of interests. Then, others who specify that term in their search criteria will ge a list of autistics. "autspec" is nicely cryptic, but unique in the dating world. Does that sound like a good idea?

They have Aspie Affection, but I've heard that site is full of bugs. Maybe you should start an autism single meetup.

Based on the "Eligible Odd-bods" thread on here, I don't know how well it would do. I think there's like a 20-to-1 male to female ratio in there lol. I could see the women on such a site getting completely spammed with messages....but then again, I think regular dating sites are similar.

There used to be a link to Aspie Affection from this site. That is supposed to the dating site associated with WP but the link is no longer available for some reason.

As already mentioned the site is full of bugs and usability issues, much more so than WP itself, so perhaps Alex has deprecated the site now.

It's not like a dating site would help me.
