Excellent question.


I always wonder too...but typically I don't put it in my "About Me" page. I do reveal that I have children because that is most definitely part of who I am....usually my daughter's autism comes up in the course of open communication as we start to become more curious about each other. I guess I like it out there early on.


I've had one gentleman leave our conversations permanently because of my daughter's autism-which is perfectly fine-and I was glad to have it resolved early.


Similarly, I also do not attempt to communicate with men who's profiles list such things as frequent or extensive travel or total spontanaiety as desirable. I love to see new places and certainly take vacations but 'frequent' and 'extensive' and 'total spontaneity' are not realistic for me. What do you think about this...am I assumng too much when I decide ahead of time which man won't blend onto our little family unit?
