hi & welcome to comps board

if you've not already seen the compers guide
(apologies if you have)
there's some great advice on which sites/comps
are best avoided ..
ie:

Comping Guide - Getting Started & Other FAQs

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

I struggled to read the sticky because my learning disability means I can't take in a lot of information all at once.

Sorry to hear about your learning disability. It would probably help if you read just a little bit every day so that you can process it at a speed that suits you. Asking here will get some help but not all of it precisely because it's all in the sticky - we wouldn't want you to miss out on anything important. Allocate yourself a section a day and I'm sure you'll be fine.
