    Heya @max_balch welcome to the community! How're you today?

    So what brings you here today?  If you need support, please ask away and we'll do our best to help.

    We have a great category all about CP here, some of the discussions may be of interest to you.  If not, we have the coffee lounge for some general chat and the games lounge for some easy and fun games. :)

    Thank you! I'm okay, thanks! How are you? I guess I am here because I never really excepted my disability during childhood and now I am starting to. I would hide my disability from others and myself. Now, I want to be part of the disabled community and help others!

    Hi Max

    So I guess my first question is when where you diagnosed?

    Did you have any support groups that you could turn too?

    I have more questions but don't want to bombard you all at once.

    Hi, so I think I was diagnosed from birth, they knew I had it early on. I didn’t have any support groups when I was younger, and to be honest I still don’t now, but I think it will be something that I look into in the future. It definitely would have helped me during childhood! I don’t mind, I’ll answer whatever questions you have. Hopefully, I will be able to help you in someway and it will help me too, because I struggled to talk about it when I was younger and I’m only just starting to now, so talking to you about it with benefit me! If you want you can contact me by email, my email is [removed by moderator: personal information]

    Look forward to hearing from you!
