Also annoying though are people who think they "get it", stop listening and be interruptive after a few words, and totally miss the crucial part that comes later.

Other neurodivergent people are hard to hang out with, except for sharing our grievances in memes :-)

crucial part that comes later.

Put the crucial parts first, before the fluff.

Sometimes context is important

Or

Context is important sometimes! (If you want the point first)

That is a beautiful bit of word play there to show a point succinctly. Love it, well done!

If you are going to make a long winded statement, its not crazy to preface it with something.

But then they think they heard the only important part already and miss the context which equally matters.

Its not prefacing it with a summary, its letting them know you have a point at the end they should wait for.

I actually prefer the type of conversation that goes back and forth and tangents, but there is a place for more long form cohesive ideas, and you should wait to hear it all before speaking.
