Get out and have fun: Many communities have adult social centers and shuttles to get to them. Or you could look online for a local group doing something you enjoy. Once you know the members, meet up with them in a public place (carefully!). However you do it, to be social you've got to meet people, and that means getting out of the house. If you need help, find a buddy to go with you, or alternate several for backup.

Depends: This can depend on the disability you have. Consider joining groups that enjoy the same things you enjoy: libraries, museums, charitable groups; music, film, or theatre groups; bridge or bingo groups; historical organizations, gyms or recreation centers that you can use some parts are an option also. Ask your doc to make some recommendations, too.
