Besides a few typos, your original post was clear. Because of this, I think your writing is good enough. You could gain more confidence by spending some time thinking about the context of your communication method and your relation with the other person. For example, texts are often more brief than emails as they are a more immediate medium that evolved out of pagers and cell phones. Text conversations are often short and unless you are trying to start a longer conversation, you want to keep your message similar in length or shorter than the one they sent you. Text conversations can abruptly start and stop given the time of day, when people may be busy at work or school. Don't take it personally if a conversation falls apart over text. Many text messages are simply to arrange plans to call or meet up later for a full conversation, because it is inconvenient to type a lot on your phone and most find it less enjoyable. Many non-autistic people also don't like texting because of the lack of social cues. Meanwhile, emails come across as professional and formal, analogous to sending a letter. You need to set a subject line so that the purpose of your email can be understood before fully reading it, as some people receive a lot of email and need to quickly parse what's in their inbox and then prioritize opening certain emails. Emails begin with a greeting and end with a sign-off by convention and you will be received as rude without these. Emails are longer form and not as back-and-forth, so include a reasonable amount of information in your first email if you are making a request of someone. Think of what follow up questions they would ask you if they respond. In general, you will communicate with a lot of people online that you have never met, so you need to think about what they know about you and why they are talking to you.
