This is me after 5 years lifting, still just autistic as fuck around women, nothing has changed. I'm literally a more autistic version of Connor Murphy.

ive found that it helps to be more 'alert' of other people
i get the same thing, and stutter and talk way too quick when people approach me when im not expecting it
just make a habit of looking around for other people walking in your direction or staring at you

I stutter at the gym all the time, half the time people try to ask me anything I'm out of breath or spacing out while resting

My mumbling is genetic.
My mum always tells my dad off for mumbling. I mumble exactly like my dad does, and so does my brother.
Funnily my sister doesn't mumble, she took after my mum in that regard.
It fucks with my confidence so much, unless I am in 1000% concentration mode, I can't help but mumble unintelligible shit.
I cringe when I hear my dad trying to speak, I can only imagine what people think of me when I speak.

Judging by this experience, your communication skills are like anything else in life, you gotta train it all the time if you want to stay good at it.
