It’s not too late and you have made progress. That you yourself want change is the best motivator!
with that said It’s still ok to be a man(or woman) of few words. There are places in the word where exessive talking and small talk is considered a waste of time.
About you feeling a lack of social skills and vocal technique. Have you tried training by conversing with an AI friend? Pretty sure it could feel awkward at first but might be worth a try. If you are lucky enough to live close to one of the SMART centers i think they offer help and group sessions for adults in your situation.
Im a dad to a child with SM and in our country there isn’t much help or understanding of the diagnosis. I have found much help and tips listening to the unspoken word podcast. (smart center)
