Abstract
The Social Model of Disability opposes the analysis of disability from perspectives of specialists who analyze the phenomenon from outside, from positions of power, which place the target population as less valuable, unable to express their living conditions and to make decisions relevant about it. This work reports the life stories of a group of young people with disabilities, who at the time of the research were higher education students at a private uni-versity in Mexico City. Their stories allow us to observe recurrent patterns on the experien-ce of living with a disability, the recognition of being capable, intelligent, and autonomous young people. However, they also show evidence of the situations that they must overcome to eradicate society’s perception regarding uselessness and dependence.
