We have 2 of these signs in my neighborhood with hopefully more to come. You can get these where I live (in Ocean County NJ) by a phone call to the local police department, traffic safety. Where I live, there is no charge for the signs.
Update 8/14/08: I returned home today to find that they had put up our new sign! We live on a corner and just a block or so in from a busy street. Though there are 2-way stop signs, I requested one more sign to be put up as you pull in from the busy road. Here's our new sign!

I have never seen this. I live in an city with a very high ASD population, and I never see this. It's not surprising, however. The South tends to be so backward on these types of things.
This has got me thinking...
I like that site that sells the signs. Will have to share that on my site and maybe get one. We have now lived in this duplex house for ten years (this month) and I want to move, so maybe when we do that can do the sign. We have the flag banner (ebay) in front yard.
there is one of these in my neighborhood and every time i pass it i wonder, "what am i supposed to do differently now that i have been informed of this?"
is it any different than what i would do in response to a "Children at play" sign, or what?
what are you suppose to do? slow down! it all depends on the severity of the autism and you won't know by looking at that child.
