Aspie Singles becomes Diverse Connections
Aspie Singles has existed for almost 10 years, and we’re proud of the community that has grown here.
Through experience, conversations, and thousands of connections, we have come to a clear conclusion:
there is a real need for a broader neurodivergent community.
Many people do not fit neatly into one label. Many live with double or triple diagnoses. And many benefit from connecting with others who understand overlapping challenges and strengths.
That is why we are taking the next step.
We are building a new, more modern platform called Diverse Connections (diverseconnections.club). It carries the heart of Aspie Singles forward – while opening the doors wider.
Who is Diverse Connections for?
Anyone can already become a member of Aspie Singles. While most of our members have autism, we already have a diverse group of people with different neurotypes and life experiences, and Divergent Connections builds on that foundation.
It welcomes neurodivergent individuals of many kinds, including (but not limited to):
Autism, ADHD, Tourette’s, OCD, ARFID, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, SPD, Bipolar Disorder, BPD, Depression, Intellectual Disability, Intellectual Giftedness, Down Syndrome – and more.
Many people live with multiple diagnoses, and shared understanding across different neurotypes can be meaningful.
We also welcome neurotypical individuals who genuinely wish to understand and connect with neurodivergent minds. Respect, curiosity, and openness are the foundation.
New features and a better experience
Divergent Connections will introduce major improvements:
- Dedicated forums for different neurotypes
- A mixed community forum for everyone
- Expanded profile customization options
- Advanced search and filtering
- The ability to fully remove specific users from your view
- A smoother, more intuitive system overall
Everything is being rebuilt to be easier to use, more flexible, and more enjoyable, with many additional options that we believe existing users will appreciate.
A calmer, modern design
We are introducing a major layout upgrade focused on clarity, usability, and accessibility.
The default will be a quiet dark theme, chosen to be gentle on the eyes for those with sensory sensitivities. A light theme will also be available.
The new platform is being built with accessibility in mind, to ensure a more comfortable experience for those who need it.
Membership model
Diverse Connections will initially launch as a fully usable platform without limitations.
At a later stage, it will transition into a freemium model, where core features remain accessible, while certain advanced features will require a membership.
As the platform continues to grow and mature, the long-term goal is to transition into a fully paid membership site to ensure sustainability, continued development, and responsible growth.
All existing Aspie Singles users will receive a substantial discount in recognition of being part of this community over the past decade.
What happens to my account?
All current users will be carried over to the new system as we transition. We will provide clear updates before any changes take place.
There may be a short period of downtime during the transition. We will do our best to keep this to a minimum and ensure the move happens as smoothly as possible.
Thank you for being part of the first 10 years.
We’re building the next chapter – together.
