Crip Time

 Crip Time

"Crip time"  refers to the concept and practice of disability culture and community, which challenges the ableist notion that time is fixed and linear, and recognizes that different bodies and minds experience time differently.

It acknowledges that disabled people, including autistics, often need more time to accomplish tasks and may have to adapt their schedules and routines to their own unique abilities and limitations. Crip time also challenges the notion that productivity and efficiency should be prioritized over rest and self-care.

"Rather than bend disabled bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds." Alison Kafer 

Essentially, Crip Time is a shift towards valuing and centering the needs and experiences of disabled individuals, rather than expecting them to conform to ableist norms and standards.
