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.

During the middle of the work day: it’s one of the nicer parts of my job, as long as nothing urgent (to me, personally) is waiting.
At the end of the day, when I’m on my way home: “My kids are waiting for me to pick them up.” Doesn’t matter where my kids are, they’re always waiting for me, in the same way that it is five o’clock somewhere. Also, the dog needs let out.
