Disability, however, operates according to “crip time,” a foundational term in the language of disability justice. Alison Kafer describes crip time as the kind of time that “requires reimagining our notions of what can and should happen in time, or recognizing how expectations of ‘how long things take’ are based on very particular minds and bodies.… Rather than bend disabled bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds.”
