Aaah... during my assessment, I did something similar. During the test of remembering number sequences, I was fingerspelling them in the air. Not as unusual as you would think.
I am heavily affected by local dialogue. One of my volunteers has a very different speech pattern, and I find myself using it frequently, especially if I have been speaking with her frequently.
More, uh, interesting? Funny? When I was 16, my cousin from Crete stayed with us. She had lost most of her English (although it was her first language), and spoke mostly Greek. Her accent was extremely strong as a result. She stayed with us a month, during which my mom would frequently yell at me for 'mocking' her. Except the accent persisted even when my cousin was NOT there, and you could not quite detect the country I was from. (oops). Understandably, something as simple as binge watching tv shows/movies from England will affect my speech as well. (My husband teases me to no end because I have to consciously watch my speech after watching Doctor Who).
The accent thing is funny with Autistics. Tony Attwood mentions it a lot. For me I don't even have to watch a lot of shows or even be around people for long to pick up the accents. It only takes a couple of minutes and there I go and I don't even realize it's happening. My family was a military family and we moved to a lot of different places. Every time we would move I would immediately pick up the local accent or way of speaking. My siblings never could pick up any accents and always sounded very awkward if they tried. I sounded like a local after only a couple of days. It used to drive my parents nuts especially if I picked up a lot of slang instead of speaking correctly. But I could do both. When I needed to speak correctly that was no problem. And they always thought I was picking up these accents on purpose but I wasn't, it just happened automatically. I love it though. I think it's a great gift and I am very happy to be able to do it. And I've been through it as well.

One point of view damning and suppressive.
The other, supportive and sees value in the quirk.

I'm jealous of people who can do accents!
I can only, under all circumstances, speak in my New York accent. My wife is a West Indian, and I can't imitate her accent

Trust me. I can't 'DO' accents purposefully. It's embarrassingly horrible. But I can adapt one unconsciously.

That's what happens to me. When I pull the file with the quote, it's always in the character's voice. I guess it just comes out.
You should see me when I'm pulling Monty Python quotes.
