Hi, my name is LittleOwl2!
Hello,I have just joined your lovely community. I am very late diagnosed Autistic and have Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder amongst other things. I have been through several benefit changes over the years from Incapacity Benefit to Income Related ESA to Contribution Based ESA due to bereavement and now New Style ESA. Also from DLA to PIP. It is all rather bewildering! I have volunteered with the YWCA, a User and Carer organization and the NHS and BMJ. Currently in a bit of a heap and wish I could officially retire. Also I love singing with my online choir 🙂

Hi @LittleOwl2 and a warm welcome to the community from me!
Thank you for telling us a little about yourself, the online choir sounds so much fun! What sort of songs do you sing?We have our coffee lounge for some fun, casual chit chat with other members and our games den for some interactive, lighthearted games which can be good ways to begin your journey in the community😄

What do you like to sing? I don't sing, I just 'vocalise'. 😉
