Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.
Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

=( Now, just talk into the square. )
( Why would I talk to a square? )=
=( It's not a square it's a person! )
( Looks like a square to me. )=
=( But it sounds like a person! )
( Why does this square sound like a person? )=
=( Because they're on the other end of it! )
( The other end of what? )=
=( Of the phone line! )
( There's no line coming out of this thing. )=
=( It's wireless! )
( You said there was a line! )=
=( It's a metaphorical line! )
( I don't see anything that even looks like a line! )=
=( No no it's receiving radio signals. )
( I also don't see any radio signals. )=
=( They're invisible. )
( So this square is receiving invisible signals that cause it to sound like a person. )=
=( No, it is a person, they're just on the other end of the line. )
( So I'm supposed to intuitively understand that invisible signals make this a person, despite my every instinct screaming that it is a square that keeps sounding like a person. )=
=( No, you're a lost cause, but we'll condition your kids from birth to believe this, and then pretend like it's completely normal to think this way. )
( You'll do what?! Hey, come back! )=
=( Click! Bzzz... )
( You can't just say click buzz and run away come back here! )=
