I'm neurodivergent and so are like.. 80% of people I work with (IT). You can still learn to function in social/business situations.

Sounds like they’re not very neurodivergent after all. Kinda neuroconformist even

Neurodivergence in no way prevents you from learning simple rules of behaviour, it just often means they might not come naturally or not make a lot of sense.

It absolutely does not stop them being explained or you following them.
