I think that is a great idea.
Why not start a web site full of tips and tricks AS people have learned. I don't know if I'm AS or not, ADD so far... But I feel I'm probably on the autistic spectrum also( all this stuff is still confusing), I don't have the same social problems that people on this site have, well mine are not as extreme. So I might have knowledge that could be helpful to people.
I think getting people that have milder autism to explain things to people with more extreme autism could be helpful.
If people with exteme AS explain things to other people with extreme AS, it can be like the blind leading the blind.
Also you could have NT people putting in their points of view, to make it better.
So after a while you could come up with a good code of conduct.

The rules exist so we can trip over them. If someone likes you, your imperfections shouldn't matter and things should flow naturally. If someone doesn't like you, they will find fault no matter what. If you're short, you'll be too short. If you're careful, you're a prude. If you're too smart, you're a nerd. The bottom line is that if a person doesn't like you, then there's nothing you can do about it. Move on.
