Heya guys!
I'm from the UK (There seems to be a ton of us here) and im in my late 20s.
I usually keep myself to myself when it comes to disability. Always feeling that nobody would want to hear about it, but from what I've read so far, for some its the opposite.
I've always had my disability, but over the years, as I'm sure is common for a lot of people, it progressed.
My early medical history is unclear, but the closest I ever got to an official diagnosis was Arthrogryposis. Which is a nightmare to spell; but the upshot of it all is that I have joint contractures and severe muscle weakness.
I have minimal movement in my arms and legs, and most of it isnt very functional, being a limp wiggle at best, but im grateful for what I still have. I use a C-PAP and a powered wheelchair.
Other than that, I work in property, and I keep myself busy with my hobbies, drawing and computer junk.
I'm not sure exactly how I found the board, I've known of its existance for a few years. I finally decided to register as I'd like to make some friends in the community, and be more open about disability in general.

Hey thanks for the warm welcome, I've been reading a lot of the old threads. I'd add my own 2 cents to them but most are months old.
