I have a friend who is autistic. I am pretty sure he was a virgin until 40. He is now married and has children. He met his wife at a book meetup. Structured environment, focused on a topic, worked well for him.
It took him so long to find somebody because he was just like you and refused to go out of his comfort zone. But then, in his late 30s, he started reading books about psychology and human behavior, made an effort to talk to people (he still sucks at that, because he often ends up giving a talk about something nobody gives a shit about) and he made sure to go out and meet people. Usually at meetups focused on topics that at least somewhat interested him and because such meetups are in a relatively formal and structured environment.
You could try that too. Since you're younger, your chances are not too bad. But don't forget to work out and be clean and presentable too.
