Abstract
This article presents a key finding from a reflexive ethnographic study of the work disabled people and their support networks do to organize self-managed attendant services: that disabled ‘self-managers’ and their ‘attendant’ employees perform relational work to increase autonomy in the context of austerity-driven systemic constraints. Through a temporal lens informed by feminist and disability studies perspectives, ‘clock time’ was seen to obscure personal resources of energy, time and skill that self-managers and attendants contribute to the performance of relational work. ‘Crip time’ is explored as an alternative temporal orientation that might meaningfully inform future policy and programme development.
