How do other disabled people make friendships, do they find it easy?

    I found it easy when I was in my 20's but as iv got older I found it difficult.  Do you have difficulty making friendships?

    Proper friendships, that non disabled have, do not seem to happen. I have lots of people I know, but people move on and disabled people do not move on in the same way.I feel left behind sometimes

    I found it OK What I have done is joined groups at my local leisure centre were I can do things and after have coffee and chat with classmates and made some good friends. I found if people see you taking first step they don't look at me as disabled just one of the group.
