A tale of disability. An autoethnographic essayAbstractThis article is an authoethnographic account of living with a disability. The author examines her own experience of a person with a disability as well as the narratives collected from women with Turner’s syndrome during an ethnographic fieldwork. She shows how different narratives and voices shape the experience of disability, which is as much a given biological fact, a social construct, and a story one lives and tells.Keywords: disability, autoetnography, Turner’s syndrome
