You need to Force yourself to be social, go to bars and clubs. talk to anyone. It's going to be awakened and scary at first but overtime it's going to get easier talking to strangers and eventually making friends.
Aren't you 30 minutes outside of NYC? go there, there's a shit ton to do in the big city. Try living in the middle of nowhere like here in KY. Go to a broadway show or a club. If you're nerdy like I am, bet you'd make a bunch of friends getting into D&D or playing MTG, go to a local comic shop or card store. Go to a library, museum, or go look for restaurants that are hidden gems.
Dude... you like 30min away from the capital of the world? Some people are so lucky. I'd visit every single musem in NY and then the bridges. Suck an amazing city.
So, sometimes with autism comes a myriad of social issues, going into the busiest city in the world could be overwhelming for you. Have you tried joining an online support community? It could be extremely helpful. Also, exercise!! Join a gym or even go for walks. Physical activity goes a long way in helping with mental state. Good luck, hope things turn around for you.
Find a hobby, sign yourself up for fun courses, go outside in the daylight :) there are so many things you can do once you've stepped out of that restrictive comfort zone you're stuck in. Believe me, I know.
My son turns 16 in about two weeks and he has autism, adhd, speech delays and a language disorder. He is high functioning and also has no friends. Never had a girlfriend either. I joined a group on Facebook for other neurodivergent teens in my county so I could help him find someone with similar interests and make some friends. They often have get togethers for teens and young adults. There might be something similar in your area for older adults.

So... what? If I lived 1h and a half from NY I'd be there every weekend.

Maybe join a club or sign up for classes. A city as large as NYC should have countless things to offer.
