I'm sorry if this sounds straight to the point, but aspie women don't congregate together at the same places.

one can always dream 8O

but you are right. people have diffrent likes, and go about to diff places.

I was more targeting at places people like to hang. my phrasing came out very unintentionally sexist.
Im really sorry about that :?

The biggest question is knowing which questions an Aspie is most likely to give a vastly different answer, and give greater importance to those. (Although it'll be at the expense of NT match ratings.)


pick out the 'nerds' in each groups -eg check their interests. of course, you can't tell if said person is neurotypical or not 100% as it is the internet. Also people pretending to be 'normall'....

Since there are more men than women diagnosed with Asperger's, any aspie dating site would likely have an unbalanced male/female ratio by at least 4 to 1. I doubt an aspie dating site would work for most male aspies.

i'm an aspie woman...

even though there are more men with AS i think you guys find more compassionate woman out there. its very hard to find a compassionate man to deal with a "weird" woman.

also there is a spectrum, there are those on the spectrum who are more logical and those on the spectrum who are more emotional. in some instances i am a bit cold with things but in others i am brimming over with emotions. i think aspie with aspie could work quite beautifully however they would have to be very strong against the pressures of society. i think aspie couples would find their biggest problems in dealing with the society around them and its going to hit those hardest who do not embrace their "disorder". people who feel very insecure about who they are because they are different will have a hard time in general in relationships and an even harder time with a fellow aspie. if they have been unable to love those traits within themselves and they will be unable to love those traits in another person.

personally i think in another 100 years its going to be awesome for future aspies but right now we're &*^$#

I understand (and identify with) the anxiety of an Aspie not wanting to date someone who's "fully" NT. However, since there are more Aspie males than Aspie females (as far as I can tell), I think it might be better if some kinda site like "quirky dating" or "nerd dating" (the latter of which I think already exists) online! :D Trust me, guys. There are people of both genders who are ACCEPTING of people with Asperger's who don't actually have it. Otherwise, all those people who volunteer/teach in "special schools" wouldn't be hired!! 8O Well OK that's not TOTALLY true, as there were some people in my old "special" school that I thought were a little insensitive. But some of the others weren't - they were pretty cool IMO :) I'm finding some people outside that school whom I think are just as sensitive (if not more so) to the needs of "special needs" people who would treat them as equals rather than as "special" (in a bad way).

my husband likes that i am weird and sorta 'short-bus-special', and he is NT. so a dating site like that might work, for people who like oddities.

EDIT: and i always liked nerdy or unusual guys.

I regret ever going to Aspie Affection due to the three years of abuse I went through meeting a guy on there. The only thing good that came out of it was meeting my best friend through him. :cry:

I'm an Aspie female from Australia too. I don't have any Aspie friends and would one day like to meet someone who is like me. That would be cool!

Disabled Passions on the Passions Network is a niche dating site that caters to people with a disability so there is a chance that you will find someone with autism there.

I don't know if I am a lesser case of Asperger's or not, but I am seeing a lot of guys afraid of dating NT women. My experiences at college in Sault Ste. Marie MI may have helped, but you guys have to get out there. The more social experiences you have the more you will discover about yourself, and women will be able to tell what kind of man you are. I myself must have more confidence than the average Aspie. I actually have plans to move to a foreign country, that being Japan, and working as an English teacher. The Japanese people are not to keen on letting outsiders in on the conversation, and can be even xenophobic at times. I still intend to go there, maybe not for reason but purpose. The point I am trying to get to is that there is an actual backing (at times thin) to the nerdy shy American guy getting married to a Japanese woman completely out of his league. It may not be good info for most of you, but for those lesser affected by Asperger's, research Japan, and NT's for that matter. I encourage all to get some social experience, it helps a lot. I have friends from college that still contact me from time to time, even though I flunked. All in all it IS how you treat a lady that matters, and knowing how to show that you care better. That may be hard, but treating ladies like gentlemen is something Aspie men are good at, just maybe not as much in showing it.
