Hello there.
I should be clear that as an autistic individual I physically cannot passively pick up on any social ques or feelings
It is all an active process and I have to decipher everything as if I were a cleptomaniac
Does not help that I have social anxiety
Every single social interaction takes strenuous amount of effort and mental energy (well primarily when meeting someone new)

*hugs*
I have only so much mental energy and there's other things said energy is better spent on, plus I could always just ask or look something up.
i have those problems as well, the only way I can pick up any ques is by reading facial expressions, no expressions = you read the same to me as a table or any other inanimate object
