If you're new to the 'professional' working world, then I can understand a lack of conformance with the norms of those environments. However, if you've been working in professional environments for a while, there's no excuse for not understanding those norms and why they exist, short of some kind of cognitive differences.

Yes, and, those exact kinds of cognitive differences are exactly the kind that this profession is known for.

and sometimes happen to be the same cognitive differences that get incorrectly hand-waved as "just being shy" by individuals who don't live with said differences.
