Do psych nurses get the conversational difficulties we have?

#asd. Do psych nurses get the conversational difficulties we have? When I was mentioning my social interaction difficulties to the nurse yesterday she said I was ok one to one. I saw that as something of a dismissal of my issues. I pointed out to her it was because it was factual(we were going through my life history). I also pointed out I have great difficulty initiating conversations and making small talk.

I could never just go up to someone and start a conversation, but if they approached me ,and talked to me, I would be polite enough to reply as best I could.

I personally don't see that being 'ok' one to one within a certain context is a sign that that applies across the board. Unless the thinking is if you are on the spectrum you are just bound to be antisocial , and not engage in conversation whatever the background factors. If you can engage with conversation at all then somehow you don't have problems that way.
