Accents

NAS82817

HI, 

I have a daughter with ASD she is 5, I have a question that I'm hoping someone may be able to answer for me.

She speaks with an American accent even though we are British and she is around very strong Yorkshire accents, I sometimes wonder if this will be something she may grow out of or if she will always speak with the accent.

I'm just looking to see if others have grown out of it and lost the accent they used to speak in. 

I look forward to reading some replies.

  • She may or may not change it as she grows up. 
    I know someone who has an American twang instead of the right accent for the area they come from.

    My daughter used to speak similarly, and she would also speak with an old English way when she was infatuated with victorians. 
    I myself randomly speak in a Yorkshire accent lol, and I’m in Suffolk! I am very good at emulating accents, and other peoples voices in general, even sounds I hear. I quite like it. It can be fun. It shouldn’t be seen as a problem.
