Claire writes from the inside, with the clarity of someone who has run a school, built a business and lived every unwritten rule she describes. Honest about privilege, generous with stories, and unmistakably on our side. Long overdue. -- Cathy Wassell, Founder & CEO, Autistic Girls Network; Founder & Proprietor, The Haven
