Hey, so I have absolutely no idea what this is or what I’m doing but I guess this is where I introduce myself? hi, I’m Ethan, I’m 21 and from Nottingham. I have cerebral palsy, autism, as well as anxiety, depression and PTSD caused from bullying in school. I hope that I can help create a safe open conversation about disability for everyone here and maybe make the odd friend or two (if there’s a way to, again, not entirely sure what this is yet?) it’s good to meet you all, and I can’t wait to get talking :) x

    Hi @visions_of_a_life - Welcome to this great community from me too. For someone who didn't know what they were doing, you managed a really good introduction, so thank you for sharing!
    This is a community of people with diverse disabilities, yet we share much in common. We are friendly, & supportive of each other. Sometimes it's about health issues, sometimes about benefits people are applying for, & much in between. There are many people here with the problems you face, so you will find a lot of understanding.
    Please just join in with any discussions you'd like, & chat here any time. Nice to 'meet' you. :)
