I seem to not only shift accents from moment to moment, but I absorb different personalities.

I usually catch accents, but one day I started sounding Irish in Bible study so I just went with it and finished the passage. I was in England when I was young. But I can also catch Spanglish, fastfoodspeak, college english, Mississippi, and most other accents. It happens so fast.
Bonus is when I read to the kids I can do most alll of the voices.
But the funny thing is that my kids know if I talk to Southern relatives, and if I've been watching any Doctor Who or David Attenborough.
I've also moved a bit, so by the time that I was in 5th grade, people said that I had no accent. Now I'm older, I have so many.

As a kid i picked up peoples voices and spoke like them. I knew what i was doing but couldnt stop. I picked up traits too and when i didnt know how to react to a situation id revert to what they said (past person i picked up the trait from) and id not realise it wasnt a good response so id end up getting myself in to trouble or getting a hacky look when i really didnt want to upset, i just didnt know how to deal with the situation

Word. I’m from New York
And New Yorkers ask where I’m from because I have a very different accent.

It also changes based on where I am who I am with unintentionally

I'm a very late diagnosed, former Speech Language Pathologist...
Please be aware that the field of Speech Language Pathology still lags considerably behind the autistic community's knowledge/experience. We need more SLP's w autism to bridge the gap, please.❤

I have Asperger’s and I’ve always had an accent from a young age. My parents would call it my own language. Every time I’ve met someone new, they always ask where I’m from or if I’m British, though I think that’s kind of the only accent they knew. Someone once thought I sounded Scandinavian though. I’m from America myself though. When I listen to recordings of my voice, I think I sound the way little kids sound. I’ve always been bad with r sounds especially or and I my tongue tends to do a s or z sound instead of th. I was just listening to a recording I had to make of myself and the word “bruise” sounds more like vroose. There’s other words that sound different too of course. In my head, my voice sounds pretty strong and medium in pitch most of the time, but my voice always sounds a bit soft like I’m a little old lady in recordings. I like how unique it is, but I like to act and I hope to one day voice act and I’m not sure how good I really am at making my voice sound different than that. I did watch some Doctor Who as a kid but I watched other stuff too and I didn’t know anyone with an accent.

My teenag son just told me I talk like a robot. I have good grammar, speak frankly, ask people to repeat themselves often, etc. I don't normally speak in contractions and apparently speak so oddly that my son jokes that he thinks I'm really an AI. Lol I'm currently seeking my autism diagnosis. I have many other comorbities and am highly intellectual and mask often. My psychiatrist won't even give me the autism assessment because he thinks I don't have it. I wish he would understand and hear me out. I'm hoping for a second opinion. I'm so convinced I have it and want to stop being Gaslight or dismissed by mental health providers. Fingers crossed.❤

My daughter talked with a southern bell accent.

[wolfxlover]

I get comments on this! Sometimes people mention that I have a German cadence to my speech.

[pooman]

A lot of people say I have a southern American accent and I never been down south born and raised in Detroit

[maykenyagin]

I have a friend who sounds very american and used to laugh at my israeli accent when speaking english (im from israel btw). I always thought he must have lived abroad and cought the accent there but later found out that he has never left the country😂 this was about 5 years ago and latrly he started to think that he might be on th autistic spectrum so i guess it all makes sense now lol

[FromSkytoEarth.]

That’s why I have a very mixed British. I grew up imitating English, Scottish and Irish actors. I’m Pawnee, too, so it’s a real trip trying to guess where I’m from based off dialect and appearance. 😂

[chronicmanda]

Both of my ASD sons are New Zealanders and speak with American A sounds. It's so weird and extremely noticable lol. They are cute though.

[Elizabethpepper]

Only heard once that i have an accent. Ive been kindly told, often in humourous light hearted moments, "you talk weird, ". No one has elaborated, but i think its to do with word choice? Ive also been told i articulate myself very well. A judge once refused to accept im autistic due to masking 🙄

Neurodivergency eliminates intelligent and eloquency, i suppose?

[SusKa]

I have an other local accent. People always thinking that I talk like the CAPITAL citenzens of my country. But my familymembers don’t have that at all. 😂

[Zi-ujjo]

when I worked with customers I got asked this all the time, got work meant different language but the main two was apparently I'm a mixture of Polish and Canadian 😅

[sirgalah]

ive never thought if that.. Im Australian and Ive had a lit if oeoole think I had an American accent too.. I watched plenty of cartoons when I was i kid too and never thought I'd pick up their accent from them.. Thats really interesting.. Wouldn't that also be so for an NT kid too though.. 🤔

[thuggie]

people at uni thought i came from Norway but i was born in the UK

[AnythingWithFacesOfficial]

Do you have the issue that when you are to answer the phine to someone you dont know how to speak and dont know what to be like? Its like super overwhelming 😭😭. Often i just ignore the phone unless i feel comfortable answering.

[iamamanda]

Yes my mom say I have Amanda language that no one understands
