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

      Website for you

      By gerta23 · Posted

      While traveling from Chennai to Bangalore by train, I got bored and started browsing casual games. That’s when I found aviator bet. Since the rounds are so short, it’s perfect for filling up a few minutes without needing a solid Wi-Fi connection. Plus, the game loads fast, which really helped because the network was patchy most of the way. Super handy for travel.

      Introducing Myself

      By gerta23 · Posted

      Hey, I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I found this site through a colleague who mentioned it at work. The aviator bet game intrigued me because it seemed like a fun, no-pressure game. I’ve had a blast playing it and, to my surprise, ended up with a decent win. It’s definitely a great way to relax and unwind. So far, I’m very satisfied with the experience.

      You're learning BSL because you want to communicate better—maybe with a Deaf friend, for work, or just to be more inclusive. That's awesome!

      Hello

      By WillowM · Posted

      Hello, I started to learn BSL a long time ago but stopped due to the cost involved. There are so many more resources available these days so I'm excited to be picking it back up again. WillowM
