Those seeking romantic relations are increasingly using online dating sites, including young men on the autism spectrum. This study presented dating profiles with and without an explicit label of autism and positive or negative wording to 306 'females seeking a male partner'. Participants assessed the men's dating profiles in terms of perceived attractiveness, trustworthiness and desire-to-date. They also completed a questionnaire on their level of stigmatisation of, and familiarity with, autism. An explicit autism label and positive wording positively impacted perceived attractiveness. With positively worded profiles, those with highly stigmatising views reported decreased desire-to-date when an explicit label of autism was present; those with low levels of stigmatising reported increased desire-to-date when an explicit autism label was present.
越来越多寻求浪漫关系的人在使用在线约会网站，包括自闭症谱系上的年轻男性。这项研究向 306 名“女性寻求男性伴侣”展示了带有和不带有自闭症明确标签以及正面或负面措辞的约会资料。参与者根据吸引力、可信度和约会意愿评估了男性的约会资料。他们还完成了一份关于他们对自闭症的污名化程度和熟悉程度的问卷。明确的自闭症标签和正面措辞对感知吸引力有积极影响。在带有正面措辞的简介中，那些对自闭症有高度污名化看法的人报告说，当出现明确的自闭症标签时，约会意愿降低；而那些对自闭症污名化程度较低的人报告说，当出现明确的自闭症标签时，约会意愿增加。
