I have friends on the spectrum. I happen to agree that mildly autistic behaviour is more akin to a personality difference than a disorder.
That said, I don't think it's fair to admonish someone for using the colloquial norm. The comment might read better if stated less as "careful, you're doing something wrong" and more in the tone of "here is another viewpoint you may find helpful and interesting."
