I'm not sure about that. It can at least be slow. I was... maybe not brilliant, but pretty good. I also was at least a borderline jerk - arrogant and not very nice. It took me at least a decade out of college to get better. My wife and kids think I'm on the autism spectrum, though I have never been diagnosed. Whether or not it's true, "people" is a language that it took me a long time to learn.

The increased visibility about Autism has helped in the workplace somewhat. When someone is able to be diagnosed, they are given the resources to help navigate the neurotypical world, and managers have been expected to adjust their communication styles for a neuro-diverse workforce. Autistic people still are not given all of the opportunities to succeed, and training is uneven at best, but it's certainly on the right trajectory. That said, please consider looking at confirming a diagnosis. If you are indeed on the spectrum, you may benefit from knowing and learning adaptive strategies.
