Hey everyone! My name is Caitlyn and I'm 22 (you can call me Katt if it sticks better too!) I'm currently doing Level 1 BSL and I'm enjoying it a lot so far and finding it relatively easy. I'm suspected autistic and there's a few reasons why I decided to learn BSL. I go mute sometimes so it can be extremely exhausting to communicate verbally and I think that teaching the people around me what I've learned in BSL will not only help me not have to drain myself with speech in those episodes but can actually help the ones close to me understand those hard of hearing or deaf who use BSL as well. I've always wanted to learn as I want to be able to communicate with as many people as I can and if means learning new languages I'm happy to do that. I hate the idea of someone feeling excluded due to a lack of understanding in an ableist and discriminatory world so I want to make it easier for other people who just want to be included and listened to. If I can do it for one person that is enough for me x
