About this app

HIKI: THE AUTISM FRIENDSHIP & DATING APP
Hiki is a free and first-of-its-kind ASD friendship app and dating platform. Whether you've been recently diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or have been embracing your Autism identity for a while, Hiki is your safe haven. Thrive in our all Autistic community where you can meet, chat, and connect with like-minded friends.

NOT YOUR 'NEURO'TYPICAL DATING APP
Traditional apps don't always get us. It can be challenging to navigate a world that makes us feel misunderstood and excluded, but you don’t have to do it alone. Hiki stands apart, designed by and for the neurodivergent community. Embrace your Autistic identity with pride in a space where you can be authentically yourself.

FIND FRIENDS
Meet, match, chat with new friends on Hiki. Unmask, learn, and forge powerful friendships within our sandbox of shared experiences and steadfast support.

FIND LOVE
Spark the love you've been searching for, centered around your Autistic identity. Connect, match, and date an empathetic partner who truly understands your neurodivergent self.

FIND COMMUNITY
Post, react, comment, and engage in our active community page to find relatability, connection, and acceptance. On Hiki, Autistic adults can unapologetically be themselves and flourish.

BE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Whichever way you choose to identify, we love to see it. Autistic, AuDHD, LGBTQIA+, Gender non-conforming, or non-binary – all are welcome at Hiki. Discriminatory filtering has no place at Hiki. Our app is tailored to help you find potential matches based on your preferences, special interests, and personality.

SAFETY FIRST
We prioritize your safety. Hiki uses security measures like location, age, and ID verification. We have zero tolerance for bullying, discrimination, or abuse. On Hiki, you control your experience – create or join group chats, block, or report any uncomfortable interactions.

JOIN HIKI FOR FREE
