Detailed explanation-1: -Body Language: Body language is crucially important in deaf culture. Much like how it would be rude to walk out of the room when someone is talking to you, in deaf culture, it is considered rude to look away when someone is signing to you.
Detailed explanation-2: -But Deaf communication relies heavily on eye contact: the blog ASLDeafined explains that “In the Deaf community, once you break eye contact you are no longer listening to the other person. This is considered to be rude and disrespectful.”
Detailed explanation-3: -If you would walk between us without hesitation if we were talking in English, then you can safely walk in between a sign language conversation. That doesn’t mean walk, then stop, examine your clothes, fiddle around, and so forth. If you take more than a second, you’ll annoy us. Just act normally, please.
Detailed explanation-4: -Do not touch elsewhere on the body to get attention, e.g. head, face, stomach, etc. Do not use a fist/punch to get attention. Do not kick or throw things to get attention. Do not stand against light or a window. Do not pass between two people signing. Do not stand too close. More items
