I have been learning ASL and I have a question for any Deaf/deaf/hoh people. Is there a way to use only one hand for all signs? I have a condition that makes it difficult and painful to use my left hand and can't use it most of the time.

Can anybody who knows ASL explain to me what's the difference between signing:
"you-name-you"
and
"you-name-what"
They both are used to ask "What's your name", but I do notice that some question signs or command signs (for example: you jump) tend to use the first format as opposed to just saying "you-jump"
I guess what I'm trying to say is, is it necessary to repeat the "you" after the action?
I have a question for any of my followers who know ASL. How would a person A) Ask someone’s pronouns and B) Give their own pronouns in ASL? Google has been supremely unhelpful, so I’m hoping someone here knows. Thanks!
Story time: I've been learning ASL off and on for the past few years (my most recent/successful class was at college, where I learned 150+ words, as well as the sentence structure.) I love the language, and can understand a good bit of what's being signed (assuming I recognize the signs, of course). And am still learning! But, whenever I go to actually sign with someone who's HoH or Deaf, I forget all my signs? Like. My brain goes blank, and even if I know what they said, I can't understand them, or seem to remember the signs to answer. So I either fingerspell/write down everything, or rely on the translator (if there is one) even though /I know these signs dangit/. And it's not just a one time thing? At college my class would go out once a month and meet with Deaf and HoH at the mall, and just talk with them, and it would happen every time there. And now there's a Deaf guy at my church, and whenever I try and talk to him, the same thing happens: if he's signing at his mom or translator I can understand (assuming I know the signs) but whenever he signs at me my brain goes blank and I forget everything beyond "hi, how are you". (He's been helpful and understanding, but I would still like to be able to sign instead of writing.) Anyone have any advice?

Disability terms and ASL
So as someone who is learning ASL on my own (for now) and who works in the Disability Services Office at my school, I thought of an important question. Are there specific DS related signs, or are they taken literally? For example: Jane has a processing speed deficiency. Would I literally sign PROCESS SPEED DEFICIENCY or is there a more specific and/or shorter way to get this point across? All knowledge and input is highly appreciated! Please tag anyone you think may have an answer! @deaflepuff @deafdiaries @deafine @thatdeaffeel @deafdrop @howihear
I am a hearing person who has been studying ASL independently for about two weeks. I recently ran across the idea of name signs, and I have a question.
I cosplay a lot, and I know that in the future I may be portraying a character who uses sign language. If I were to do that, would it be permissible for me to give name signs to the other characters that mine interacts with? I know someone who is Deaf or HOH is supposed to give name signs to people, and that it is not allowed for someone to give one to them self. Would creating a name sign as a hearing person portraying a fictional ASL user for other fictional characters be offensive or looked down upon?
Thank you for your help! I just really don't want to offend anyone or go about something in some way that'll make anyone upset, so I figured I'd ask.
ASL Classes update...negations?
Alright so I tried to make a video signing this all out but my ASL grammar is HORRIBLE and embarrassing, so rather than make it look like I'm using SEE I figured I'd resort back to English, haha.
So I'm taking a beginners level ASL course at the local Deaf Action Center. It's really cool because the location of it is pretty much right in the Deaf community but since it's not an official like, "course" you might take elsewhere, it is more through in some areas then others. My teacher went to Gallaudet and is great but she is not giving me enough syntax info to start putting some of these signs together correctly. So I've been trying to get some research done myself but it is taking...awhile. lol
So anyways, my quick question is about negating things in ASL. For instance, is the difference in saying something like "I believe you" (point towards the person-point to chest- believe sign-nodding) and "I don't believe you" in that you would shake your head no instead of nodding it yes? Just wondering if you can negate any verb in ASL this way.
