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.
