I’m in a fairly unique position to be able to figure that out, but it’d take a significant amount of effort, and in most cases I haven’t bothered; if there’s data other than signaling in the behavior, I tend to note the data and ignore the signal. If there’s not much data other than the signal, or the static to data ratio is too bad, I just write the whole thing off as NT weirdness. Mostly, we tend to figure out the minimum about normal signaling to get by, and ignore the rest as an inefficient use of time.
I was able to figure out which things I was doing were signaling things to normal folks without figuring why or how by noting when the reactions I got were responding to something other than the message I’d been intending to send.
Autistics, since they signal differently, might be in a good position to comment on which ordinary behaviors signal how much.
Not exactly.

Edit: Brain fart. :P
