Hi Tom and welcome to the community! 
Having frequent meltdowns can be a sign of autistic fatigue or burnout.
I suggest seeking support from your GP. Alongside doing that, you might find the advice and suggested strategies in these NAS resources helpful. I'll also share some suggestions in a separate post about perhaps getting out more and meeting some new people.
There are a lot of links, which can look overwhelming - but there's no rush. You could perhaps bookmark this page and work your way through them whenever best suits you, alongside reading the replies from others.
NAS - Autistic fatigue and burnout
There's also some great (free) advice here from Dr Megan Neff - a neurodivergent author, clinician and advocate:
Autistic Burnout Recovery: How to Build a Recovery Plan
I bought this book of hers. It's very user-friendly, including lots of diagrams and worksheets:
The Autistic Burnout Workbook: Your Guide to Your Personal Recovery Plan
I hope that some of the information here is helpful.
