To sign autumn, hold your non-dominant arm across your chest, angled slightly upward with the hand near your opposite shoulder, representing a tree. Take your dominant hand, keep it flat with the palm facing down, and brush it in a circular motion down your non-dominant forearm. This motion mimics the falling leaves of autumn.
