Missed my chance?

I've been feeling anxious about my place in the
world lately. I have a form of autism that makes social things
difficult. As a result I have never had a job or a girlfriend. Never
kissed, still a virgin. I turned 30 recently. I have tried to improve,
still am, but can't help feeling like women won't understand. I'm
afraid I've missed out on a lot and I'm past my prime. Lately just
hearing or seeing the word "boomer" makes me feel slightly panicked.

@modestWriter18 Hey, don't worry about where other people are at, just do your best. I also had those "milestones" later in life due to social anxiety. I ended up receiving counseling for my social anxiety so I could start doing things like asking people to get coffee, etc. Are you able to go to counseling to work on feeling more comfortable socially? Or perhaps you could connect with a woman who is autistic as well?
@modestWriter18 The way people on line act like 26 and up is old and being a virgin means you are probably a serial killer freaks me out. Maybe I spend too much time online. I know a girl my age - best friend, really - and she is one too but she is asexual. Don't think talking to her about it would help much.
