Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

There probably were some ads in the past that might've (probably unintentionally) targeted people on the spectrum. The IBM Selectric ad from the 60's instead of bullshitting about changing your lifestyle (like today's car ads do) focuses on the product's technological prowess.
