is this a subtweet of me? i think you're using "like you" in a different way than i was using it - i literally meant "people who share this trait" so it's true by definition that they share that trait

Is it a subtweet of me? This is pretty common feedback that autistic advocates get if we forget to add “...but other autistics are different”, but do call me out if you see me erasing anyone.
