Is it technically code switching?? I'm pretty sure this is an autism thing but I have this kinda annoying habit of picking up accents/speech patterns of people around me and from media I consume. It's only temporary but it can last longer sometimes like when I lived in the south for a bit, but even now as a grown adult I mimic peoples way of speaking.
It's subconscious until I eventually realize I'm doing it and then I get really embarrassed. I don't want the person to think I'm mocking them or people to think I'm trying to be something I'm not.
It goes from east coast accents from watching mobster movies as the least offensive to diluted AAVE when I watch black media or talk to black folks irl (when I notice it i pull back and try to lean into dorky white people talk) and sometimes talking to folks from South the border i temporarily absorb their accent too.
It seems to mostly be like...American based accents for the most part but I think as a kid I kinda absorbed British accents (kinda like those American kids that watched Peppa Pig)
It's really embarrassing and I've gotten better at catching it but idk if I'm lowkey being a culture vulture or if my surroundings really effect me more than I realize.
Do other Autistic/ND folks deal with this? How do I stop it? I don't want people to think I'm mocking them. Is code switching even the right term for it cause it's used mainly for black folks switching from using AAVE to not using it so once again it feels wrong to apply it to my white ass.
#im autistic and moved around a lot#and took in a lot of media#rambling#plz help lol#im trying to actively beat aave outta my system too cause i cannot talk like that cause im a white baby#i was very ignorant#i still am but im trying to get better

“King” sized “Queen” sized, even sized for “Twins” but no “Wizard” sized? Discrimination. How will I dress my impossibly dimensioned bed now Bed, Bath, & “Beyond”?
