For example, I would expect the attached poster to not exist for various obvious reasons. But how do you think an autistic society would handle the indication of listening/attentiveness?

    I was more interested in the percieved respect, honesty, integrity (e.g. people not nicking your stuff if you drop something somewhere), generally friendly attitudes, tech innovation, appliance design etc.
