I don't see it as offensive, but English isn't my first language either.
I don't think we have a term in Swedish for "on the spectrum" we would instead say NPF, Neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättning / funtionsvariation which means "Neuropsychiatric disability / functional variation".
I do get a little bit annoyed tho when people hesitate or feel uncomfortable to use the word autism, as if it would be a slur. But I understand they don't want to step on my or anyone else's toes.
