Title. If you are at a party/ social gathering, are autist like me who hates small talk and there's some nosy auntie/cousin or some retard who is asking you too many questions and you want to dodge. Instead of just fucking off and lieing giving some awkward excuse like faking some bathroom break or the classic I have to take this call. What you can use as deflection instead is this
Pair them off with someone else. Say to them, I've just seen someone over there I must go and talk to before they leave, but have you guys met? Introduce them to that person and off you go to stuff your face with butter chicken, after that it's their problem to hold the conversation. You're not rejecting them you are just offloading your social load and "gifting" them a much more NT conversation partner. Bonus points if they share some interest like hobbie kids, cooking, religion etc. Instant 30 minute conversation that you don't need to be a part of. Be like yeah she also loves cooking, or she is also a Christian. She has a child who is around your son's age too. Something like that
It works especially well because it's a scripted, repeatable move spot a talkative stranger, walk over together, do a quick intro "Auntie, have you met my friend Sarah? She used to go to the same church that was close to the one you used to live in before you moved have you seen her before", smile, and vanish. 9 times out of 10 they'll keep talking and forget you ever existed. You also look very NT and sociable when you do it. High IQ move.
