I think it should be worked on if the person in question would rather have an easier time talking on the phone. Otherwise I'm not sure I agree.

I'm autistic and phonecalls are a nightmare given ambiguous social signalling over who begins speaking and when. Thankfully at this stage in the game most people contact me via some other communication method, the only calls I get are scammers.
