Short answer: yes. Longer answer: I’m not sure what I’d call it, but it’s always appeared to me as the non-dx partner that while approximations and hypotheses are fine for NTs often, for ND folks the approximation is a totally different thing and therefore wrong. And that wrongness has potential consequences so the person must be corrected. So the difference between 60 minutes and 45 is the difference between an orange and a Toyota (ND) rather than an orange and a clementine (NT). That’s all to say, I think it comes from a good place (wanting to make sure those around you don’t suffer consequences of not having all the info), but it can definitely get in the way of effective communication if the approximations you’re correcting are harmless.
