Vik I'm watching your UCLA suggestioin right now. Yes, most of us know all to well about the isolation feelings. The DAI group chats have helped me immensely. Plus that fact that I've accepted my diagnosis. Reach out, research...do exactly what you are doing.

So from the home page click services and then click peer to peer group. Join and wait for an assignment to a group.

Hope this helps.
