Could AS be the reason I don't have an accent?

everyone has an accent

Nope, not from Ireland, but it is in my ancestry. So that's why I chose it as a user name.

I tend to talk in a neutral accent unless I'm around someone with a thick accent, then I pick that up. It can happen fairly fast, like over the space of a car ride. I never noticed how much I did it until I moved from the mid-west to the east coast.

it may be. i think it is the reason i DO have an accent. i can not speak very well without the aid of a computer or at least a notepad, and the little progress i have made with speaking seems to be going backwards. but when i do speak i have an accent that is different from many people i know. alot of people think i sound 'camp' like a homosexual, i am not one though. i also get sometimes told i sound british. but not often because i do not bother to speak to much because of the effort requires. it would be great if people could just hear my thoughts in my head when i wanted them to, rather then having to sort them out into my mouth.

I don't have an accent either-- I have even tried to "fake" one to sound like the locals (stupid I know, I no longer even try).

The way I speak is "newscaster english" -- no real accent at all.

there is no such thing as no accent.

Accents and the socio-cultural process behind each person's idiolect (their personal way of speaking) are complex and fascinating (sorry English linguistics/dialects is just one of my narrow interests!). I don't think AS is DIRECTLY responsible for your 'lack of an accent' (which of course to anyone outside the US is a very strong American accent, no doubt) but perhaps an indirect result of it.

For instance as someone with AS you might avoid direct socialising with peers in day to day life, and if you listen to alot more TV, movies than you talk to people you're bound to be start being more influenced by it (wittness Australian teens using terms like 'douchebag').

Perhaps if you identify more with intellectuals, you mightly subconsciously strive to adopt the so-called national 'prestige norm'. Maybe your innate prejudices mean that you try to avoid the southern accent because of it's negative connotations.

I have a very typical Upper-Midwestern accent.

I'm the only person in my family with an accent, and that's a good thing.
