and how do you deflect prying questions about you and limit these rituals to 2 minutes instead of wasting 30 minutes?

asking as somebody who, if not on the spectrum, is socially awkward, likes solitude, boundaries and to be left alone (to do the job)

I still believe none of your answers is going to help me because neurotypical solutions don’t work for me but I have nothing to lose with this question.

      does this also work with women? most nurses I work with are women and are simply incapable of being silent more than 2 minutes.

      they may be offended in short term. but in the long you will have more respect.

      they WILL be offended and proceed to furiously talk behind my back and destroy my credibility

        To be honest this doesn’t sound like a good workplace. As a teacher at my school, we just get on with the job and the last 50 minutes you can join in conversation or just get on with something else. When a teacher is busy with something (even if they’re reading) we don’t interrupt them except if someone has a school related question they can answer.

      Not respect, they’ll just leave you alone, for other reasons (and probably dislike you too). But if that’s what OP wants, he can easily have it.
