I think this is an error, can you help?
He was it; autistic.
I think this is an improper use of a semicolon. My understanding's is that both sentences separated by a semicolon need to be full, grammatically correct sentences in their own right. The single word , “autistic”, doesn’t qualify as a proper sentence with a subject and a predicate. Am I correct here? I don’t want to say this is an error if I’m wrong.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
