Autistic Empathy

Elaine Jane Nicholson

About this app

A dating and/or friendship app for 17+ individuals who identify as having Asperger's syndrome/Autism and who are seeking the companionship of like-minded individuals who can provide the empathic understanding they are seeking and which they deserve.

Apps for all neuro-types are not discerning enough for Asperger's/Autistic individuals, and the potential for harm to the Aspergic/Autistic individual is enormous. Literal, black and white thinking, which is part of the Asperger's/Autistic mindset, while it can be a benefit in certain areas of life and living, it can be problematic in relationships if not empathically understood by the person with whom you wish to be close to.

Finding someone who thinks in a similar way to how you think at first encounter, this app provides a shortcut through the social dance that the more mainstream dating/friendship apps engender.

This app is managed by qualified autism-specialist counsellors, who will be on hand with bespoke advices, if, for whatever reason, a difficulty is encountered via a helpline. Autistic Empathy also provides generic advices reference dating and friendship for all members to access.

Ratings and reviews

My account was disabled less than 24 hours after I set it up. I did not receive an email explaining why (and I even checked the spam). I'm guessing from reading other reviews, it might be that I didn't send them an ID with my personal information. However, I was on the site less than 24 hours and did not receive an email requesting my info or explaining why my account was disabled. For an app that brags about being "autistic friendly," it sure doesn't seem like it.

UI needs work, post traffic is very slow, mods aren't the best but the glaring issue is they disable your account if you don't show ID. This app isn't even good enough to be worth doing so, but also it's just ridiculous to expect that of people.

Untrustworthy app, they person running the app insists on you sending pictures private documents such as driving licence or passport, their excuse for this is so they know you are real. the request for such documents is illegal but they threaten to delete your profile of you dont do it. Oh, and after i wrote this they blocked my account, how petty
