I'm not sure about that. Communication is hard when words associated with specific emotional valence get involved. For the responder, I'd suspect that on the spectrum is one of those phrases.
I think what makes this stuff difficult is that the same word can trigger wildly different responses.
As an example, I've been working from Ireland for US multinationals for a while now. In Ireland, the word stupid means bad or crap but doesn't have a massive emotional valence.
In the US based tech side however, it was literally the worst thing one could say, I suspect because people were identifying with their ideas.
Same word, multiple different meanings lead to communication problems.
