Being autistic, it is difficult to establish relationships with individuals on and off the spectrum. Between the two, it is extremely difficult to establish relationships with others on the autism spectrum...because let's face it, most of such people are not exactly putting themselves out there socially. Some people with learning disabilities can tolerate certain environments and some cannot. Some are verbal and some non-verbal. Some are looking for romantic relationships and some of us are just looking for meaningful, long lasting friendships. Creating a safe environment is important to us. Unlike other dating/social sites, we do not purchase profiles or create fake profiles on our site.
Autism is a developmental disability that affects communication, social interaction, and sensory-motor systems. Symptoms, which can range from mild to severe, include difficulty with social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and repetitive behaviors. It tends to affect boys more often than girls, and the rate of autism diagnosis has risen from one in 88 children to one in 50. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 12-36 months, though for some the diagnosis may come much later, even into adulthood.
