Presentation Description
Young onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) challenges futures as it is often seen as not fitting in with life courses, self-identity and relationships with others. The aims of this presentation explores the way those living with YOPD imagine their future as they project their bodies into futures. Throughout the interviews we discussed their concerns for the future along with how their visions of the future was changed and challenged. With this being said, participants suggested there is room for creating new narratives beyond chronic illness and disability to inform new ways of being.
