Small talk can be bad for a lot of autistic people because:

It follows rules we don't understand - for example how much information is allowed and what I'd deemed 'too much.'

It does become somewhat easier when we acknowledge that the judgement people make of us when we mask is more or less the same as when we don't.

So far as I can tell/remember, the name is linguistic convergence.

I find it interesting that I do it a lot in English (I can be a local in Texas, Florida, California, Maine, Kentucky, Cork, Limrick, etc), but I couldn't mimic an accent in my secondary language at all. Not on purpose, not on accident. No matter how hard I try, I still sound like a mid-western American trying to speak a different language. And I've been living in the Netherlands for 20+ years.

When leaving a party (of NT adults), it can be expected to loudly announce your impending departure to everyone.

(Seriously, you didn't give AF when I was there, why should I bother you with my leaving?)
