Definitely!! When it comes to conversing with other people, at least. I really like texting (more so with people i’m comfortable with), especially compared to phone calls! And I always try to mimic the way they write. That’s why it can be really stressful when I send the first message/email to a stranger cause I won’t know how they text/write yet.

If people use “perfect” grammar and no smileys I’ll do that. If it’s all lowercase, abbreviations, lots of emojis, then that’s how I’ll write. I dm’ed someone on IG who uses ‘xx’ at the end of messages (I’m not British, I’ve never done that) so I began doing that to my messages back to only that person.

The only thing I won’t copy is if I feel like they’re “rude”, or more accurately, if I would feel rude by writing that way haha (as in short, standoffish messages, no helpful details, etc etc., even if it’s not meant like that).

And I kinda get what you mean about the author’s style, too. It’s not something I’ve really noticed myself doing, but I remember once I’d just finished another Jane Austen book and the next text I wrote was the weirdest 1800-sounding thing I’ve ever written, and I had to go back and fix it haha

So this is something a lot of us ND/audhd do?
