  1. Hi Does anybody know the sign for Wetherspoon's please? I am still early in my BSL journey so I am making some flashcards to describe common things about me just in case I get stuck trying to sign it It is a bit of a long word to fingerspell so I was wondering if there is an official sign for it. I have experimented with a few possible combinations W W S W + spoon Weather + spoon TIA
  2. How would I ask what is the BSL sign for a particular word? I'm guessing that I would need to finger spell the word itself but how would I sign "What is the sign for.......?" or "How do I sign....? TIA Buffy
  3. Hi. My name is Buffy. I am an autistic lady who is now in her mid 40s. Although I can hear and have verbal communication I tend to talk an awful lot as I am unable to filter out the things that aren't really important. The way that my brain understands conversation is also different. Most of it just goes over my head and I end up bluffing it! I already use the Relay UK service for my phone calls as trying to handle a phone call is a really stressful experience A friend introduced me to BSL and invited me to try it. Although I didn't know much I couldn't believe how calm and relaxed speaking with my hands made me feel. I did not feel the usual "barriers" to communication that I felt with talking and listening. Although I only know a few signs I have learnt the alphabet so I can finger spell. I am really excited to learn more and I am hoping to learn more from a forum such as this one Buffy
