I have heard that autistic people do something called "scripting". It is a coping strategy that one can use in the proper context in response to something someone says. I had never thought about this, but I've done it over the course of my life. I've used mainly lines from movies such as.Forrest Gump, which still remains my favorite movie 24 years on. Recently, I've added vocabulary from one of my favorite TV shows, The Goldbergs.

I am told I do a good impression of Milton Wadams demanding his stapler. Knowing the proper time in which to script is something I've learned to refine over time.
