I'm having a hard time seeing so much negativity abt scripts & templates. Many autistic ppl (& other nuerodivergent ppl) use scripts & templates many times a day to communicate, & esp use them in emotionally challenging situations & when they have less capacity.

It doesn't make our communication less authentic, meaningful, caring, genuine or compassionate. It's how we try to bridge communication differences, esp w/allistic ppl & neurotypical ppl. We use scripts & templates, borrow phrasing from movies, books, TV, & other ppl.
