“GLP” is used by social media influencers to describe someone with *stereotypically* autistic features (ex., delayed echoes, unintelligibility, lang delay). This makes the argument that ‘most autistic people are GLPs’, seem unquestionably true when it is, in fact, empty/circular. We can do better….

We should understand differences between things b/c all analogies are imperfect (including this one) and we want to respect echoes on their own terms. Both bats and birds can fly but they are also different. If I want to truly understand either one, i should probably not lump them as ‘same’
