Generally when I see that claim "poor social skills" actually means "you communicate differently and I find that weird and icky"

Charitably, it means someone is never given an incentive to improve their social skills. Less charitably, it's cover for deliberate abuse.

I don't really believe "social skills" is a monolith though - politeness norms vary widely between cultures and subcultures
