    Hi there @clayton and welcome to the community, thanks for sharing a bit about yourself :) 

    Please feel free to explore the community if you would like, you can browse topics for discussion on our categories page, or play games in the coffee lounge which is also where most people chat about their day too!

    If you have any questions, just let us know, and we'll see how we can help. We look forward to seeing you around the forum soon.

    Hi @Clayton - & welcome to the community. Thank you for joining & introducing yourself, Gillian. I wonder if you're a member of Shine, a charity for those with Spina bifida & hydrocephalus? Some info about them here: https://www.shinecharity.org.uk/
    We also have some members with Spina bifida here on Scope, such as my friend @Rifi7 whom I hope you may hear from, tho they're not very active on the community, unfortunately.
    I look forward to seeing you around the community, & hope you enjoy being here.

    Morning @Clayton welcome to our great group.
    We are a mixed bunch of normal people on here with our own disabilities.
    Hope you get chance to have a good look around the site, i'm in the coffee lounge under categories most mornings. A few of us pop in and out of the site during the day, so i don't think it will be long before your greeted by others.

    So look forward to seeing you around the site.

    Thanks for contacting me, I am disabled in quite a few ways as I trouble hearing, I email people most of the time as I can not hear on the phone,I like writing letters as well, I find it difficult to be around lots of people. I have a learning disability as well as a physical disability. I attend a day centre  two days a week where i do arts and crafts, i enjoy cooking as well. look forward to hearing from you from Gillian.
