    Hello @smiler43
    and welcome to the community. Very glad to have you with us. You have found a safe place here and are among friends, so please don't be shy of telling us about yourself or of asking any questions. The better we get to know each other, the easier we may find ways to be of use to you.
    Others will be along to bid you welcome - we have some exceptional people here - and in the meantime I would suggest you have a look through the categories which I am going to link to here: https://community.scope.org.uk/categories
    To begin with, the 'Disabled People' category https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/disabled-people might be a useful one to look for conversations (or start conversations) where you can join in and meet others.
    Very warmest best wishes to you,
    Richard
