Tips
1) Google "(My town/region/province etc.) Disabled Benefits" or "(My town etc.) Disability Programs" etc. to find all sorts of programs, benefits, discounts etc.
2) Be part of the community, do what you can, but remember your needs and limitations.
3) Be compassionate and understanding of your friends'/helpers' needs too.
4) Make a trusted, close by, friend an emergency contact for quick help.
5) Look into Facebook groups (and other social media) for both condition specific support and for Buy Nothing etc. groups.
6) But be mindful of what you post on social media - people/insurance companies may get the wrong idea if you post highly active pics.
