Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any advice about learning British Sign Language and knows any good online resources or courses? I really want to learn as I find it much easier to communicate visually than with speech. I'm going to a Makaton course soon and want to progress to BSL, but not sure how to go about starting without enrolling on a course for that too. I was also wondering if hearing aids can be tailored to those on the spectrum. I found a discussion online about someone who had some fitted which act as an anti-hearing aid to help their autism, to help block out certain frequencies of sound, but I haven't been able to find anything more about this. Thanks
I learnt a fair bit joining a friend at the local 'deaf club' though it could get quite noisy depending how busy it is. Lot of banging and scraping chairs they couldn't hear of course. There are quite a few free tutorials on youtube though.

Thank you, I may start looking into a local club once I learn some basics via Youtube, thanks for your comment!
