conulyThis is a fairly common thing for autistics to have, a sort of developmental foreign accent syndrome, and I've got it too. (So, I think, does my mother, but she has an alternate explanation. Well, whatever the origin, she also is afflicted by people asking where she's from.) Interestingly, the further I get from NYC, the less people are likely to hear some strangely unidentifiable foreign accent in my speech.
Anyway, it's been a while since this came up in real life, but what do you know, just yesterday one of the people at the doctor's office asked when I was there with my mother!

One of the interesting things one of our developmental psych professors made us do was a kids IQ language test that was based on a different set of cultural/linguistic norms, for all that it was a version of English (I don't remember which one now). This was specifically aimed at trying to get us to understand that there are lots of reasons for not hitting certain skill levels in these tests, and that poor performance might just indicate cultural mismatch.
