I have never seen a kid light up so much when I started signing to him. He does fairly well with sign language.
It was awesome.
I talked to him like I would talk to others. He talked mainly about his sister playing ball.

that's awesome. I was actually thinking of signing to autistic people along with talking as they are very visual-based but I wasn't so sure because when signing - you have to make facial expression and from what I read, they are acutely sensitive to glaring and "negative" facial expression.
I suppose I'll keep a happy face while signing and talking.
