Do any autistic folk who speak more than one language have their mind sorta “switch” between languages???

Like sometimes I start automatically thinking in (broken) Spanish for some reason and idk why.  I think it may be an autism thing??

I know someone autistic who learned a new language and actually lost their first language for awhile and had to relearn it from scratch and now speaks it with an accent from the second language.
