Living With A Disability Means Nothing Runs Like Clockwork
For people with disabilities, every little life routine is never routine. Completing what would be a simple task by an able-bodied person can take much, much longer for someone living with a disability. A work deadline or a spontaneous idea to meet someone for dinner – these aren’t necessarily achievable. We talk with a UW-Madison associate professor of English about living this life and how she maneuvers through a world that doesn’t understand why she can’t be in sync with schedules and fit into the norm.
