I'm sorry if I'm reposting something posted numerous times, the thing is, the search function of the forum doesn't sort for date. I cant find the right topics on this.
Is there a true alternative for aspie affection?

There are (or were) other dating and friendship websites targeted towards people on the autism spectrum, including http://www.autisticdating.net/ , http://www.aspergersdatingsite.com/ , and http://aspergerworld.com .

One can sometimes find people with autism spectrum disorders on websites for people with disabilities, such as http://dating4disabled.com/ and http://www.whispers4u.com/ . (For more of those types of websites, see http://www.alldatingwebsites.com/dir/di ... tingsites/ , http://nichedatingdirectory.com/Disabled.htm , and http://www.agreaterdate.com/Categories/ ... lities.htm .)

http://www.passionsnetwork.com/ is a free dating and social networking website, consisting of many niche sites or groups that focus specific areas of interest. It includes http://disabledpassions.com/ , which has an autism subgroup, http://www.disabledpassions.com/groups/Autism.html .

Unfortunately, searching for a friend or romantic partner who is also on the autism spectrum tends to be difficult because people on the autism spectrum make up a small minority of the general population (roughly 1%) and there appears to be a gender imbalance (one study suggested about 1 in 50 males are autistic, versus about 1 in 300 females). If you narrow your search by demographic characteristics (e.g. acceptable age range, religion, etc.) and geographical location, then you may find that there is no one left.
