Offer several concrete possibilities
Instead of putting all the weight on one perfect suggestion, create a menu of activities. That can make it easier for both people to react to something concrete and say what does or does not appeal to them.

Autism dating: make the invitation clearer, not more complicated
Autistic people are not all looking for the same kind of date or communication style. Make Friends & Fire focuses on something more practical: helping two people make an invitation, see the available choices and decide together what they actually want to do.
Make the practical details visible
A shared invitation can include the activity ideas and can also collect a response, a message, a suggested time and a suggested location. That keeps the plan in one understandable place.
Use as much or as little structure as you want
Some people like detailed plans and others do not. You can make a detailed invitation, keep it short, use the mixer for inspiration or simply choose one activity and ask.

Does the site give autism dating advice?
It provides practical tools and activity ideas, not medical or relationship therapy advice. The people involved still decide what works for them.
Can the other person respond without creating an account?
