Hi everybody,
greetings from Germany!
To begin with: I am female, just left the thirties behind, single, and I am still not completely sure if calling myself a devotee is correct labeling. ;-) Sometimes I think it is not the disability that attracts me, but the successful coping. But if I decide to call myself a devotee, I am most devoted to blind people.
I am never good at introducing myself "into empty space", but maybe there are things you'd like to know - I can't promise to answer every question, but I'll try.

Hi there, welcome to PD from another German. I live in the US though. It's great that you found us and I'm sure the blindness devs are happy to get some back up. It's okay if you're still pondering about being a dev. You will come to see that lots of devs are very much attracted to the disabled guys who have successfully adapted to their lives. Every dev is different and even amongst the devs our attractions and interests differ very much. We just know that there is something about us that is unique and that can be described as being a dev. But the personal preferences and everything that comes with disabilities and the people with the disabilities are very much multi faceted for all the devs. Willkommen and hope you enjoy being here and exploring this site and getting to know its people.

Hi there. Welcome to pd, its great to meet new members. We have all started our dev journey with self doubt and lots of questions but pd gives us the support and environment to become more self aware. Enjoy being part of a very special community

Welcome from another German dev. Hope you like it here. Youโll meet some very nice and interesting people here. I havenโt been here longer than 2 months but I can already tell that you will learn so much about the different characters here and moreover, you will also learn a lot about yourself as with every thread you read through makes you think about how would you answer to it.

Welcome erikajulia, I'm Dave. I'm glad you came. Make yourself at home. You may want to flip through the PD archives when you have a chance.

Welcome erikajulia, I'm Dave. I'm glad you came. Make yourself at home. You may want to flip through the PD archives when you have a chance. Thank you for the warm welcome, Dave! Yes, I already had a (short) look at the archives. ... I know from other boards that some are ok if one opens a thread on a topic already discussed somewhere, as long as the older thread is no longer running. On other boards that is frowned upon. How far and wide do I have to search before opening a new thread, if I don't know if one already exists?

We're not that big that we have to be so strict about that here. Please do read through the old threads a bit, but if you want to start a new topic that's fine. Sometimes someone will post a link if the topic was already discussed, but that's just to be helpful.

Welcome from another German dev. Thank you! There seem to be quite a few devs from Germany here, aren't there? I think more devs than PWDs.
