Does sign language benefit autistic kids?

A friend of mine has a young child who has recently been diagnosed with autism. The child is hearing, and has a very limited speaking vocabulary. Would sign language be a benefit to the child? Does anyone have experience, either as a parent or teacher, with hearing children with autism using sign language for communication?
