It's a mix of general autistic things, and things I personally do as a cis-autistic. Autism presents very broadly so you'll have to navigate what works for you! Feel free to suggest more in the comments.

Develop a special interest and learn a lot about it! Tell everyone about it!
Use obscurer words in your every day vocab. Examples; greetings, mayhaps, overmorrow, variegate, betwixt, whence.
Stim! Examples; echolalia, repetitive movements, stim toys, music.
Interpret things literally, especially when it's coming from a stranger.
Plan everything!
Develop a more monotonous voice and/or flat/blunted affect.
Accentuate your quirks!

Other common traits of autism are sensory/processing issues, meltdowns, and social clashing.

Another idea is befriending some cisautistic people and trying to mirror some of their symptoms !
