Quotes by Claire Forrest (?)

“A wave of shaky heat washes over me as I realize that sometimes I don’t want to ask for accommodations because I want to feel “normal.” But it is in those moments where I am not accommodated that I feel the least normal.”
― Claire Forrest, Where You See Yourself

“Disabled people almost never see themselves in the media, in magazines, in ads, in any space.”

“Having cerebral palsy basically means that because of a brain injury I got from being born too early, my brain is extra about everything: extra-tight muscles, extra sensitivity to startles like loud noises or, like now, Wilder touching my shoulder. It’s like having those bang snap fireworks that you throw on the ground explode inside you when you most want to keep your cool.”
― Claire Forrest, Where You See Yourself
