Hiya. So I love copying different accents I just find it fun. I hear an accent and I’ll copy whatever that person has said. I live in Cheltenham now so there’s a whole range and of accents here and I just really enjoy copying them!! does anyone else do it?

As a Scot who still has a strong accent I have to say that this quickly becomes annoying.
It feels like I'm being mocked for having a different accent, and as an autist it adds to the feeling of being picked on for being different.
It may be worthwhile considering this before mimicking the person if they are within earshot in future.
That’s fair I honestly am not doing it to take the mick and I’d never intentionally hurt someone’s feeling by copying them. Sometimes I don’t do it intentionally either it just happens someone will say something and I will just repeat it!
