And now it’s time to go home! I had such a great time speaking at #LDX3. I’m amazed at how they were able to pack so much into just two days.
Thanks to everyone who came to my talk or other activities, I really enjoyed meeting all of you!

That would be my blanket! When I was a baby, I would scrunch up my baby blanket and rub it against my skin. It still brings me great comfort, so I created a pocket-sized version of it.
Other favorites include tapping, wringing my hands, humming, flicking, flapping, scrunching my face, etc.
