How to Sign “Autisme Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like a “B” hand) and place it near your forehead, palm facing outward.
2. Move your hand outward from your forehead while maintaining the same flat handshape.
3. Next, use both hands to sign “langue des signes.” Form both hands into “L” handshapes (thumb and index finger extended). Place one “L” handshape at your chin and the other at your chest.
4. Gently move both “L” handshapes outward and slightly apart from each other to signify “sign language.”
5. Throughout the sign, maintain a focused expression that conveys understanding and respect.

• Incorrect handshape: Using a different handshape instead of the flat hand can lead to confusion about the sign’s meaning.
• Lack of facial expression: Not using appropriate facial expressions can diminish the impact of the sign, as expressions play a key role in ASL communication.
