1. I Live A Life Like Yours
A Memoir
A reflective memoir that weaves personal experience of living with spinal muscular atrophy into cultural critique and philosophy, following a life shaped by hospitals, classrooms, and the institutions of a Nordic welfare state. It explores love, partnership, and parenthood alongside questions of normality, autonomy, and productivity, examining how language, policy, and design shape disabled lives, and ultimately reframes dependence and care as shared human conditions.
