You think ENTJ didn’t play sports? This isn’t close.

Yes. This. Are they looking for understanding or solutioning?

Typically venting…

Ask. It saves you both frustration.

Slow talkers amirite!?

Similar. I have both. However, not all autism is the same.

As for the social stuff, your skills are underdeveloped. It’s like watching a toddler run because there are skills others developed at a much younger age. You may always struggle with it, but you can learn how to cope, and you can improve.

You can learn to watch for non verbal cues, learn when to listen vs talk. You can learn when to stop fact dumping and instead ask questions.

You aren’t alone. It can get better. I would recommend watching some YouTube videos on communication and social skills.

Be interested in other people’s journeys and skill sets. Perhaps people will think you’re different, but they will like you.

Settle on an organization that objectively makes sense for you. Don’t set unreasonable expectations for yourself.

First thought: clear epoxy it all
