It's evolved (mainly) from french sign language, so calling it great is a stretch. Much prefer the BANZSL sign language family.
But yeah they're retarded and reaching hard. We should teach kids a difficult (lvl 4 or 5) language, invest hundreds of their hours each, so they can do what, chat when they're scuba diving and not be ablist?
In the same amount of time, at the same level of proficiency, you could teach em french, italian, spanish, and maybe german too. I don't mean one of those. I mean all 4 in the time it takes to teach ASL. The romance languages are lvl 1, and german is 1.5 or 2. And that would also be a waste of time. Let the french learn english.

german is lvl 3, french lvl 2 I think. Spanish and the nordic languages are lvl 1 for english speakers. I don't know what ASL would be.
