Have you ever heard about or wondered how sign language relates to autism?

We took a look and found some resources on this topic! If this interests you too, have a look!

It not only covers some of the pros, but also some of the cons related to learning sign language as an autistic person.

From Diversity and Ability comes a post titled: Proud to be Deaf and Autistic; celebrating Sign Language Week and Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

Here was one particularly impactful quote that stood out to us:

“For the first time, I felt included and that I could truly express myself, and my feelings. Through learning BSL, the grammar, structure, and syntax, as well as aspects such as the need for facial expressions, it has taught me so much more than ‘just a language’.”
