The site uses a 184-question test, called the Spectrum Compatibility Test (SCT), to match users. Topics like social comfort, attention tendencies and sexual preferences are covered in the test, including multiple choice questions like "I find social situations easy" and "I am fascinated by numbers."
The test results categorize users by a color that ties to their place on the spectrum, which can be essential to find companionship for people who have certain needs and boundaries.
Cantu said, “Because we all are autistic on the site, we can easily share each others experiences that we may have difficulty expressing to non-autistics.”
