while I was diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder many years ago, I'm just learning for the sake of learning. sign language is fascinating to me.

my son is autistic and speech delayed so I learned ASL to help him communicate. it worked amazingly and he doesn't need it to communicate anymore but I still want to learn it so I can pass the skill on to him because it can be a useful life long skill that could come in handy through out his life but I have be become fluent if I'm going to teach him well enough to also be fluent

I am soon to be functionally deaf

Hello, my name is Kris and as the title states I am soon to be deaf as I have some inner ear issues that will require having the middle ear bones removed from my right ear and my left ear is already mostly deaf. I'm really enjoying learning ASL so far and I'm looking forward to being able to still hold conversations with some even though I won't really be able to hear. I hope everybody had a good Christmas and wish everybody a happy new year!

🌺🌸why are you learning ASL?🌸🌺

I am learning ASL because my best friend is deaf and with people who do know ASL, she doesn’t have her hearing aids in, and I want to support her and become more close with her so that’s why I am learning ASL. Also, because I think it’s a fun way to connect to so many more people, cultures, and communities. Why are you?

Asl class and their inaccessibility.

At least where I live, ASL classes are very inaccessible. There should be classes inside public schools. It's kinda stupid how hard it is to learn ASL (at least where I live). Not only is it a language, it's a means of accessibility. Why should a language for the deaf be so inaccessible? And it doesn't help that some PAID classes are textbooks. TEXTBOOKS. The teacher barely even knows the language! Anyways I'm done ranting.
