Calling all lovely disabled parents

Heya! We are two disabled parents of two beautiful young children and we would really like to make friends with fellow disabled parents, have a laugh together and support each other through life's many struggles. We would really like our children to connect with other children who have disabled parents so they can all grow up with confidence from having friends who they have things in common with.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Nadine and David

Hi. I'm Kathy. I live with my husband and 2 children, 12&10 . We share a lot of sensory sensitivity, some visual impairment, ASD, mental health challenges, brain damage, extraordinariness, geekery and random singalongs. Today my daughter was lovely apart from the time she slipped a few steps, so I scooped her sad self up to comfort her which worked for a minute and then I panicked when she nuzzles like she's going to bit and she starts biting me, the too of my head, but she's on my knee, on the bottom step. How are you?
Guess my diagnosis,
It may help, but
Don't guess my kids's
Not sure if I'm lovely heehee but I am a parent who is disabled. I am a wheelchair user due to chronic pain and weakness. I have a lovely 9 year old daughter.
I have only used a wheelchair since my daughter was 6 but had milder issues before. We've done some things differently and we chose to only have one kid but otherwise.... Family life is family life!

Some kind of patchwork community work that looks at meeting all need in a set area via multidisciplinary teams. GPs, health visitor/community nursing, advice work, occupational health and recycling and veggie growing, all round innovative inclusion that came to you.
