Trust and Safety at Autistic Dating
Safety is not an afterthought here. Every member of the Autistic Dating community deserves to connect with confidence. Here is how we protect you.
Profile verification
Autistic Dating uses a profile verification process to reduce fake accounts and ensure the community is made up of real people. Verified profiles receive a visible badge so you can see at a glance who has been through our verification process.
You can filter your searches to show verified members only. While no verification system is perfect, verified profiles significantly reduce the risk of encountering scammers or fake accounts.
Active moderation
Our moderation team reviews reported content and accounts. Any member who violates our community standards, including harassment, dishonesty, or abusive behaviour, is removed from the platform without appeal.
The autistic community is disproportionately targeted by social manipulation because many autistic adults find it harder to identify manipulative social behaviour in real time. We take this seriously and monitor for grooming patterns and exploitation attempts.
Data privacy
Your personal information is yours. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising purposes. Your bank statement will show a non-descriptive transaction rather than the site name, so your membership stays private.
You control what appears on your public profile. Email address, phone number, and full name are never displayed to other members. Your location is approximate, never precise.
Anti-harassment policy
Harassment in any form is grounds for immediate removal. This includes repeated unwanted contact after a member has stopped responding, abusive messages, sexual content sent without consent, and any attempt to pressure or coerce a member.
Autistic adults may find direct-rejection language difficult to use in social situations. Our blocking and reporting tools do not require you to explain yourself to the person you are reporting. Block and report, and our team handles the rest.
24/7 customer support
Our support team is available around the clock. If you have a safety concern, receive an alarming message, or believe a member is not who they claim to be, contact support immediately. You will receive a response from a real person, not an automated bot.
Support is also available for account questions, billing issues, and general help using the platform. Autistic members who prefer written communication over phone calls will find that our support is entirely written-channel.
Safe meeting guidance
When you are ready to meet someone from the platform in person, we recommend standard safe-meeting practices: meet in a public place for the first meeting, tell someone you trust where you are going, keep your own transport arrangements, and trust your instincts.
Autistic adults may find that some social red flags are harder to read in real time than they would be for neurotypical daters. If something felt off during a date, that response is valid even if you cannot articulate exactly why. See our tips below.
Practical safe-meeting tips
Meet in public for the first time
A cafe, park, or other public space for your first meeting. No exceptions, regardless of how well the conversation has gone online.
Tell someone where you are going
Let a trusted friend or family member know who you are meeting, where, and when you expect to be back. Share the person's profile with them if you can.
Arrange your own transport
Have a way to leave independently. Do not rely on the person you are meeting to get you home, particularly for a first meeting.
Trust your instincts
If something feels wrong, it is valid to leave. You do not need to explain yourself or finish the date. A scripted exit line ("I need to make a call") is entirely fine to use.
Do not share personal details too early
Phone numbers, home address, workplace, and financial information should not be shared until you trust the person well. Take the time you need.
Report anything that concerns you
If a message or behaviour makes you uncomfortable, report it via the platform. You do not need to be certain it is a violation. Report it and let us assess.
Something feel wrong?
Our support team is available 24/7. Report a member, flag a message, or ask for help at any point. We take every report seriously.
