When do you Bring up baggage
Depending on what it is or where you are how do you find someone who is ok with things like baggage and mental Illness, and when should you bring it up?
With online dating should you bring it up in the profile or what?

Depends what kind of reaction you want I guess, if you're upfront about it on your dating profiles people know what to expect before contacting you. If not and you hit it off with someone but drop the bomb on them, they might not take it well and abandon ship. What kind of baggage are you carrying around? Minor stuff like depression? Or big things like schizophrenia/bipolar?

Definitely not in your profile. Everyone has baggage of some kind. If you start off by listing everything bad about you, your potential partner might get the wrong impression.
You don't have to hide it or lie if someone asks you, but you don't have to be upfront about everything.

The other anon is right when he says don't put it on your profile, but being on the spectrum I think you should let people know it. That's my personal opinion. It's your choice, let people know only when you've been chatting and run the risk of them exiting when they find out, or put it upfront so that they at least know what they're dealing with. But I don't personally know you so I can't gauge which stratagem would work better for you. Got a profile you want me to give you some advice at?
