What strategies can I take to improve my social pragmatic communication disorder?

So I went to a neuropsychologist and I got tested for a learning disability. The report came out and I was diagnosed with a social pragmatic communication disorder as well as a specific learning disorder in reading comprehension and listening comprehension. This has impacted me in all forms of life (job, social life etc.).

What the the report said was that in conversation with people I have difficulty following conversation rules and picking up on nonverbal cues. In conversation I also have extreme difficulty with making inferences and interpreting metaphorical language. I consider myself a very friendly person around people and can be pretty outgoing and a goofball as well, but because of these symptoms it's difficult for me to be consistent with lasting conversations even having experiences to talk about. This would lead my family members and people around me to interpret the times that I am quiet as being shy or unfriendly, when that's not true at all.

I do put myself out there among people as I'm part of a meetup group, but what strategies can I use for myself among people so I can work around these deficiencies in difficulties with interpreting metamorphical language, nonverbal cues, and making inferences? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
