I'm sure that such comparisons for all mental disorders would work well for some disorders and fail for others.

But yes, I think the idea behind the poster is that 'caring' people who interact with persons with mental disorders often don't 'get' that their advice they give isn't helpful and betrays misunderstanding. Berating people because their demeanor and/or behavior follows the symptomology for their disorders makes little sense.
