My name is Anne Toft Ramsbøl. In my PhD project, ‘Family life, autism and adolescence in the 21st Century Danish Welfare State’, I examine the experiences and everyday lives of families living with autism. I focus on families with adolescents diagnosed with autism look into what it means to come of age in Denmark while living with autism. My project is part of a larger research project, 'ALTER-US', located at VIVE - the Danish Centre for Social Science Research (where I am employed), where we explore family life with cognitive differences and disabilities in Denmark. During my project, I will work phenomenologically, in particular with critical phenomenology - with Cheryl Mattingly as my supervisor.
