I was developing Mini-Talks, and instead of only reading research or trying to answer my questions on my own, I could ask them directly. I could listen to researchers who had spent years working in the field, but also to people who could speak from their own experiences. I asked questions about Mini-Talks. I listened. I took notes. And sometimes, what I heard made me go back and reconsider something I had already designed. One of the people I had the opportunity to meet was Professor Lawrence Fung, Director of the Stanford Neurodiversity Project. I had arrived at Stanford with Mini-Talks already in development. For two weeks, I had a very unusual opportunity: to keep developing it while surrounded by many of the people I would normally have been trying to learn from through a screen.
