Autistic Empathy vs AceSpace

A dating and/or friendship app for 18+ 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.

Most social apps assume everyone wants the same things. AceSpace doesn't. AceSpace is a community built for asexual and aromantic spectrum people: a feed, a discover deck, and private messaging, designed around the idea that connection doesn't have to start with attraction. Some members are here for friends, some are looking for a partner, and plenty just want to be around people who get it. You never have to explain yourself before you can belong. > Free where it matters Messaging, seeing who liked you, and taking part in the community are free, and the whole app is built on that. No paywall between you and a reply. No blurred-out list of people who were interested in you. > What's inside • A community feed with threaded comments, so conversations stay easy to follow • Discover: browse member cards and Like or Pass, with no games and no countdowns • Filters that fit how ace people actually connect, including romantic orientation and desire levels • Realtime private messaging, with control over exactly who can reach you • Profiles with real room to be a person: story sections, interests, badges and custom display name colors • A Preview button that shows your profile exactly as other members see it • An active Discord community where members and the people building the app are in the same room > Your comfort comes first Moderation is taken seriously here. Sensitive content stays blurred until you choose to reveal it. Your messaging rules are enforced on our servers, not just in the interface. Blocking and reporting are one tap away, and every report is reviewed by a human. > Support us for more flair AceSpace Premium is an optional subscription supports the platform and unlocks extras: colorful display names, profile themes, advanced discover filters, more photos and profile sections, a Supporter badge, and lighter anti-spam and low-quality-content limits (higher daily caps on likes, posts, and new conversations). What it never buys is access to other members. Messaging, seeing who liked you, viewing profiles, and the community stay free for everyone. > Made with care AceSpace is built and run by a small team. The best place to reach us, or just to hang about with other members, is the AceSpace Discord, or contact us through the app.
