A new study has discovered that an overwhelming amount of neurodivergent people don’t feel represented on modern-day dating apps. Just 6 per cent of people said they did.
The survey also found that most dating app users experience negative emotions whilst swiping, with a quarter of individuals reporting feeling overwhelmed, 17 per cent experiencing depression and a mere 4 per cent expressing genuine happiness.
The concerning results prompted one man to come up with an inclusive first-of-its-kind app that puts mental health at the forefront of romantic connections, with accessibility features for neurodivergent individuals.
Founder Jamie Johnston was aware of the struggles first-hand.
