I was in a simmilar situation a while ago
For a multitude of reasons I left mainstream society as whole and began hanging out with alternative and queer communities exclusively.
Along with other things I noted my dating experience was improving significantly. Not only did I found other neurodivergent folk with whom a social interaction was fun, but I was influenced by what I actually wanted in a partner.
After becoming poly and beginnging my transition, going back to dating in "normie-space" turned out to be impossible.
At this point I think the difference in what I need and what the mainstream can provide is to large. The people who understand me most are the ones whom I share a connection with, either by having simmilar conditions or modes of thinking in general. Those are the people I want to date and who also want to date me, for simmilar reasons.
Maybe not a feasible option for you, but I know others who have a simmilar story like this. Hope you find a fitting solution
How do you even find queer space, not even for dating just hanging out?
... Maybe I could manage that without wanting to die from simply existing among other people.
I live in a bigger city which has some more left and alterntaive leaning areas. Usually there you find some locations where events are hosted.
Not sure about the socialising part, but regular public meetups might be a good point to start
