Thank you for taking time to reply to my question.  It sad because many don't see Dyslexia as a disability. I will have to learn to finger spell it. I don't want to let it hold be back from trying to help people. 

 I am relearning BSL as have forgotten so much, as It's a lot harder than l remember form 30 Years ago. But that was a short night school introduction course. I have so much still to learn.  It's a very expressive language that in a ideal world would be  available as a language at school.  As a dental nurse a want to be able to communicate better with all my patients.  Finger spelling is very hard for my as I am Dyslexic.  But l  still want to learn and be helpful. How can I  say l am Dyslexic in sign. Or do I have to finger spell it. Thanks for any advice. 

Hi, your article sounds interesting. 

I am trying to learn BSL again after learning some over 30 years ago, but sadly not used regularly since. I'm not deaf but work as a dental nurse,  we have a new deaf patient and I wanted them to feel relaxed and safe, so used the very little signs I remembered.  Covid made it much harder due to face covering.  But they thanked me for trying.  That inspired me to try and relearn.  

Hi, I last signed over 30 years ago and sadly not used since.  I am a dental nurse and want to improve to help communicate will a new patient.  I am dyslexic so find finger spelling hard. But l am not letting it hold me back from learning or trying to help.
