I found this site: specialbridge.com that is a paid dating site for those with disabilities of all kinds of ability levels. I was thinking about showing the link to my mom tomorrow. But I don't know if it will be worth the money. First, my disability isn't really that big to me. Second, I'm cautious about being able to relate to some people with other disabilities, because depending on their ability level, a relationship might not be sustainable.

So I'm not being a jerk, I was actually thinking about giving it a chance, but I want to know what WP thinks.

No harm in trying it out. As long as the prices are reasonable.

Being on the spectrum can limit you with dating even thou you might not see it as a disability persay. I have other disabilities in addition to AS & I found some disabled or people with other issues are more tolerant, understanding & accepting of my Aspie traits thou not everyone is of coarse.

There is a possibility that someone with a disability understand and relate to you, that is one of the positives.

Be careful and take precautions, you never know who you are talking to until you meet them face to face in person and I advise that you meet them in a public place if you find a date.
