What I did at the time, I wasn't really intending to pass for NT, because I didn't know what autistic and NT meant. I thought though that there were certain things I had to do.
And for instance, one thing I would do, was if someone said something, it went like this:
1. Pick out something about the phrases or tone that you remember from some other time.
2. Pick either 3a, 3b, or 3c.
3a. That will trigger sets of words you've seen that either contain that phrase, or are in response to things with that phrase in them.
3b. That will trigger sets of sounds and tones you've heard in responses to some of the sounds and tones you've just heard.
3c. That will trigger things you've read that contain similar words or phrases.
4. Use, singly or in combination, 3a, 3b, or 3c to put together a response that sounds vaguely like something a person might say at that time.
None of this required either understanding the words or communicating anything that was in my head, and I got extremely good at it, to the point where I could go on entire monologues write entire essays without understanding the topic or sometimes even the most important words in the whole thing.
this sounds a lot like how i cipher different languages. i have selftaught myself a good bit of several romance languages although i don't consider myself fluent cause i can't compose my own sentences fast enough to really converse... but i can write in other languages in such a manner and discern what people are saying by this method.
