Have you tried online dating at all? (If it's one of those obvious questions forgive me)
I have, and my experience wasn't very good. For the most part, it just made me feel worse about myself when I received practically no reciprocated interest.
I haven't tried online dating in a few years, both because I don't want to go through the same thing I went through last time, and getting good pictures nowadays is a challenge because I don't do much worth taking pictures of and I'm also not very photogenic.

It can be really hard for autistic men (no pun intended) AND women.
I agree, but I specified man because that's what I have personal experience with, and I think the onus on the man to approach and initiate, and the skewed ratio on online dating generally puts autistic men at a greater disadvantage when it comes to finding someone to date.
