Disaboom

Thanks to Roddy and the team at Heriot-att University I picked this up from the ever-useful Internet Resources News (Issue 170 March 2009)

Disaboom
Disaboom.com is a dynamic, interactive online community for people with disabilities and those whose lives they touch. It combines disability-related health and lifestyles information with an engaging, member-driven community of personal profiles, blogs, forums and shared-interest groups, tailored to your needs. Providing a place for you to learn about – or talk about – your spinal cord injury, back or neck pain, diabetes, cerebral palsy, depression, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, amputation, or other condition.

A word of warning, though. It's American! Now, believe you me, I have nothing, absolutely nothing, against Americans or even American websites but you will need to ignore the advice to visit your downtown drug store, or respond to the Obama Stimulus Plan and join in with discussions as appropriate.

A community is only what the people of that community make it into and this looks like a good one.
