    Be brief. Listen more than you talk, but when you do talk, say useful or applicable things. Ask relevant questions to learn more and keep the conversation going.

    This is a useful tip for many autistic people interacting within NT communities, but it isn’t the ideal. Sometimes you do have a lot to talk about that other people would like to hear, and you’ll get stronger relationships with people you’re able to do so.
