Did anybody become fluent in sign language late in life?

If so, how hard was it to learn and how long did it take?
I know with a lot of languages, to be truly fluent, you would’ve had to learn it from an early age. However. I’m assuming it’s different with sign language as many parents are forced to learn it when they have deaf children (for example) and later become quite fluent.
I am 18 years old and am very interested in learning the language. Unfortunately I do not know anyone who is hearing impaired, or anyone that remotely knows how to sign.

Would it be extremely difficult for me to learn? Is it a language that takes a shorter time to pick up?

Sorry if I’m coming across as ignorant.
