Hi,

My name is Natalie and I am a CNA (certified nursing assistant) who works in a facility for persons with disabilities. I am also a sign language interpreter.
I also work part-time at a non-profit organization that works with employment-related needs of persons with disabilities. At the facility where I am a CNA, there are two persons who are deaf and also autistic. They use very little sign language.

Does anyone out there have any experience or research concerning deaf autistics who use sign language? The non-profit work-related organization where I work is starting a program to address independent living skills of deaf individuals, and as a sign language interpreter who is comfortable using ASL, I have been trying to find information on deaf autistics who use sign language, but I have been unable to find any web sites with this info. Can anyone help me?

Thanks a million,
Natalie
