should you put that you’re autistic on your dating profile?

Question

first time posting. after a very bad experience on a dating app when i was younger i am ready to try again. my only problem is are you supposed to put that you’re autistic on your dating profile? i feel kinda iffy about it because said bad experience happened because i was autistic and was open about it which caused me to be preyed on. how are you supposed to navigate this? i’ve seen a couple profiles mentioning that they’re autistic but because im a tad naive and sheltered i feel like this could go bad for me but knowing im autistic makes communication easier so ??? do i put im autistic on my dating profile or do i keep it to myself until i feel comfortable? anyone have any advice? thanks!
