I've heard the phrase 'Are your a friend of Hans?' suggested as an autism password. It's a play on the homosexual password 'Are you a friend of Dorothy?' and the guy who first described Aspergers Syndrome.
You could say something about Neurotypicals. If she knows what that word means she's probably autistic.
I'm gay and have never heard of such a thing. Is it a regional or generational thing?
A while back I read the history of high-fiving, and basically it was a sort of "gay secret handshake," before it became a popular gesture amongst the rest of society. But no one would recognize it as such today.
As for asking someone if they're on the spectrum... first, they'd need to know the "secret question" and two, they'd need to know their diagnosis... and the latter is the tricky part - there are many undiagnosed people out there that show traits that others pick up on that have no idea they're on the autism spectrum. That's one huge reason why it's probably not a good idea to start asking random people if they have AS.
