how much? and what restriction to free membership? Also, what screening process?

They need all these information in a chart. Even Aspies don't want to waste time.

That site is just a default install of osDate. At least I made Aspie Affection look unique. http://AspieAffection.com

And the men will outnumber the women, just like about all other dating sites specifically for ASD people.

Men outnumber women on there too. And the site has many flaws.

Aren't all non-ASD dating sites mostly males as well? Or so the legend goes.

Then again, I haven't really taken heed to those sorts of things.

So I hear. I don't tend to frequent them, though. But male acquaintances, online and coworkers, complain about that all the time and they're not on the spectrum.

Probably not to the same extent. The male/female ratio of people with an ASD diagnosis is 4:1 in real life, so it's inevitable that dating sites for ASD individuals will have a skewed ratio as well. It's a similar situation for niche dating sites like one for people who interested in racing for instance (yes, such dating do exist), since a lot more males have that kind of interest than females.

No one has an accurate account of the male to female ratio. I would take any attempt at such a ratio with a pinch of salt as no country in the world has an accurate census of its entire ASD population and nor will it unless everyone who displays such behaviour is 100% diagnosed. Otherwise they are "guesstimates" based on social expectations. As some professionals such as Tony Attwood have identified the ratio would be distorted due to social expectations which change the route in which both genders gain access to a diagnosis the reality may well be the ratio is negligable between the genders.

On a side note

You may find it interesting to read George Orwells (yes bloke who did animal farm and 1984) article he did on homeless people. He made interesting observations on the differing outcomes for women and men who became homeless. I find his observations you could link to other outcomes regarding women who have disabilities and mental health problems

Alex is a spammer. If you wanna contact the site, it seems you should only do so if you're interested in Alex's career.
