I wanted to add a side-point about this point of #psychology: scripting is well known by now and I daresay that most people have some ability to perceive that someone is speaking to them in a formalized or scripted manner out of habit. People who've been caught up by cults or fanatical beliefs tend to speak in a "scripted" fashion, while paradoxically accusing their enemies of speaking empty words.
Scripted human behavior is not confined to the neurodivergent but, as I've said, thanks to the criminal-pathology lens through which mainstream U.S. culture regards psychology, people can be accused of scripting. But the same can be said of so many terms from science and medicine and other fields. You can make "pareidolia" or a stutter seem like a moral weakness, if you really want to.
