There appears to be no commonly used Auslan sign for ACRONYM (but some signers represent this visually using depicting signs, once they have established the topic). If you know a sign for ACRONYM used by you or other Auslan users (deaf people or interpreters) please go to "Report missing sign" and supply details. Thank you.
