I have just turned 26 last month and only know people that are a lot older then myself with visual impairments. Is there anyone out there who can relate?

Hi @Stevieee93 and welcome to the community. I'm nearly 25 and I can relate to how you feel. However, since finding others on social media, who are roughly the same age, I don't feel isolated or like I'm the only one anymore.
I have a vision impairment, hearing loss and many other disabilities, but being here on the community and getting to know others in a similar position on social media, has changed my life for the better!Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
Hi @Stevieee93 and welcome to the Community. It is great to have you on board and thank you for sharing with us. We have all different ages of members on the forum including young people and I am sure you will find others in similar circumstances as yourself. I hope you enjoy your time with us and make some new friends. It is a great supportive space and we are a friendly bunch of people. If there is anything we can help you with then please just give us a shout. All the best.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.
