Hi,
Has anyone else noticed that people with Autism seem not to have strong regional accents?

I have 'Wandering Accent Syndrome' myself, meaning that I pick up the accent of whoever I'm talking to. A little embarrassing sometimes as it can seem like I'm mocking them when I'm really not at all. It also tends to mean that people think I'm American when I'm out and about with my American partner, although I'm actually a London girl living in the South West.
On the flip side, a good friend of mine with more prominent AS than I have actually has an extremely strong and unwavering Bristol accent.
