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.

    I don’t understand the question. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered anyone asking me prying questions for 30 minutes, at least as an attempt to be social. What’s an example of such a question? If it’s at work, how can you even get away from your desk for 30 minutes? Just say you have to get back to what you were doing.

    I get the need to be left alone. That said, when moving to a new city, I found work was actually a good place to meet people and some (but far, far from all) of my former co-workers remain life-long friends.
