It's rare to find people who are actually interested in learning anything, most will just parrot something they've heard in passing or rely on gut feeling, and if your fact goes against their made up assumption then they will deny what you say rather than look it up and learn, because being seen to not know something hurts their feelings.
You gotta switch their gears from defense ive/debate mode before they'll even consider what you have to say.
Even then you won't see the positive change in the moment. It'll come 2 years later while they're drying their hair and it all clicks
As an autistic individual who already has enough trouble with social interaction, asking me to dance around the fragile emotional state of someone being willfully ignorant might as well be the same as asking me to sprout wings and fly.
Yeah if it's not in your skill set no shame in leaving this labour to someone more suited to it
