I have a hard time making friends because of my Dx too. I also get pretty paranoid about what others are thinking about me.
Try suggesting outings with people you think you'll like hanging out with. I've gone out for drinks with co-workers and we've got along well. I've been invited to several after work things like that and I finally went a couple weeks ago and had a good time. Social anxiety normally prevents me from doing stuff like that, but I take an anti-anxiety med and force myself out of my comfort zone.
