There is an entire section of second life devoted to instructing those with disabilities, called Virtual Ability Island. It has detailed tutorials, and at one point a bell you could ring to get help from volunteers. I haven't been there in years though.
If you have ever played a 3D character based computer game then second life is easy.
Installing second life is easy. Go to secondlife.com and download, then install.
Troubleshooting sound issues can be hard, if you want to speak. You also need headphones if you want to listen and speak, as speakers will cause feedback when your mic is on. We have someone in the support group who is very good at troubleshooting sound issues, and there is also a meditation group.
Second life can be like holidaying without leaving home, if you ever want to explore. There are even underwater gardens. Some of us go to virtual clubs, but I find it too exhausting. One of us is a virtual DJ at some clubs. Some areas are best avoided, and most of these have an R rating which you cannot go to unless you set permissions that way.
Light/visual issues can be a problem. Some cannot handle the graphics. This is aided by setting the time of day to midnight, so there is no sun, and leaving it there.
Very old computers might not run it. It also requires broadband or faster internet speeds.
There are lots of members of the ME/CFS group there. Most will be willing to assist anyone who wants to come along.
Mostly we run it just like a chat, as many cannot handle sound and you can always go back and reread chat, but you can't do that if you miss a voice message.
There are events too, including Xmas dances and often something for May 12. There is also an art gallery with exhibits from people with ME or CFS, plus a few information sources but I don't know all the refinements as we moved to a new venue last year, and I don't know what the builders made.
If you see a guy with a small fire breathing dragon on his right shoulder, and a tiny ghostly dragon on his left shoulder, that's my avatar. People can look and dress how they want (but clothing is
not optional except for R rated areas) and one of our current members is a giant gryphon, another is a tree person.
There is a facebook page on the ME/CFS group here:
