One idea for a secret code Jim Sinclair proposed was gently rocking back and forth while flapping the hands at waist level just slightly. These are two obvious signs of autism, but most NTs wouldn't notice or pick them up. I've used the tactic before to start a conversation, particularly with young aspies.

Once at the dentist he asked another mom if her son was autistic...that he could tell "because he was too" The mom started to cry and said most people just look away and ignore her son. So we hung out in the waiting room and they played with blocks for a bit. Evan has what you call “au-dar” as well.
