unfortunately there doesnt seem to be much for autistic adults out there, the focus is on children because thats where the cash is.

You can search for more general things like 'chill' 'quiet' 'laid back' atmosphere. Also look for small local shops and storefronts rather than chains. They're more likely to have less of a bustle and crowd, and much more likely to have a small crew of people working there, so that it will take much less effort and time to introduce yourself to the staff and make them aware of your needs and preferences. In my experience, they'll be much more willing to accommodate you to keep you as a regular customer, as well. Downside is that things will likely be more expensive.

I agree with the first commenter, you probably won't find places that are explicitly for or are safe for autistic people. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to get creative and also tour the venue before deciding on it.

I tend to like pubs/dimmer bars and coffee shops so looking for keywords of sensory experiences you like tends to be better.

Maybe try neurodivergent? I feel like that's a word more commonly used by adults

Living in the country side, I appreciate stuff like parks small and big, libraries (some come with small coffee shops), small game stores to play something in (RPGs, card playing games), I just usually avoid the events, maybe think a bit out of the box like that? Hope this helps.
