Deaf people who use the Brazilian Sign Language experience linguistic, communication and attitudinal barriers in health care throughout Brazil. This article discusses the report of an autoethnobiographic experience of a teacher-researcher, based on her affectations and implications, and on how these aspects impact the writing of an extension project. The report is approached from three different moments: the first addresses the affectations experienced by the researcher before and during the development of a research project; the second moment discusses her political activism and her involvement with the deaf community beyond the university environment and, finally, the third moment reports the collective construction that characterized the writing of the extension project. The described process proves that the project as a whole was constituted as a dialogical action between community and university, and it can be noticed that the political activism of the teacher-researcher was the main triggering factor in the development process of the extension project.
