| I have done online dating, but had no luck with it. I used to be an active member of OKcupid before they did that godawful redesign that made the site become more like Tinder. I quit OKcupid after that. Lately, I've been signing up for every online dating app in the book. Mainly, I've been using Tin... |

| I dont think it's that you dont want friends with disabilities, period. It's more that you dont want to be lumped into a group of disabled people because of your autism. Realistically as a 28 year-old guy, you're probably not going to have much in common with a 50-60 year-old woman, and with no com... |

| So wait, are you looking for a date or are you looking for friends??? You just listed "online dating" and "speed dating" as a thing and that sounds like relational matchmaking more so then platonic friendships ... Well... that too. A girlfriend is something I also seek, but it s... |

| I have been trying for years to make friends in real life, and literally nothing I tried has worked. I have done everything that can be done to make friends. I have gone to tons and tons of Meetup groups, many of which I have gone to more than once, or even multiple times. Been doing that for years,... |

| I have watched Season 1 of Atypical before Season 2 premiered. I wasn't so much offended like some people were, but I did have mixed feelings about it. I did feel that it portrayed autism in a way that's much better than what I've seen in other pieces of media that involves a character with autism, ... |

| I joined recently myself, and I kind of relate in the sense of being accepting of your autism diagnosis. I've been diagnosed since I was two, but there's been many periods in my life when I have not been accepting of it myself. As of right now, I've been more accepting of it now than I have been bef... |

| Am I a bad person to not want my circle of friends to be people with more severe disabilities? Now, when I say that, it doesn't mean that I would never want somebody with more severe disabilities to be my friend, but rather, I don't want that to be my social circle. Anyway, the reason I ask is becau... |

| Hello. I'll start the introduction by saying that I have heard about WrongPlanet before, but have been hesitant to join. I've been on the internet for years, but here, I'm going as a more anonymous user than I do on other sites, as I'm not really that much open about my autism diagnosis. I've been m... |
