I'm constantly questioning life, not in a way that I want it to end, but in a way that I want it to be better or different. If I'm in a flow state with work then I can be happy to just work hard and make that job better every day. But if I'm bored, like right now, everything just seems a bit pointless.

I'm late diagnosed, 42 and don't have kids. Do have a partner and cats.

I'm sure neurotypicals just live... without questioning everything All The Time!

I'm currently building a suite of tools for a client that are also looking at a SaaS product in the long run, the long run being 2-5 years. Its complicated data involving audits and compliance which obviously apps already exists for but it will take them time to procure and adopt.

But what will this mean for the future of PowerApps?

Its no secret they are horrible to work with, create, use, but its also the main format of app within a Microsoft house currently.

What will copilot AI bring? So far, its not terribly useful for my workflow, even though I use Claude to help me with the coding of course.

Its making me very unmotivated to keep learning this skill as who knows how many people will be using it in the future.

Look, I get it, it takes a long time yadda yadda.

But getting a reference from your current employer then leaving you for months just seems bizarre. My boss now knows I'm looking for another job but I won't leave until I have a job. Sure I'm looking at other jobs but there's not much out there. So in the meantime there's this uncomfortable uncertainty where he doesn't know if I'm leaving or not.

I wish I'd never applied. 😞

Hi all, so glad I found this group! I'm in a mix gender AuDHD group which is fine, but there's a particular quality to an AuDHD Woman lol!
I was diagnosed very recently and am navigating it all - plus trying meds. I'm 42, so late blooming and have had GAD my whole life - or so I thought! Maybe it was just neurodivergence all along!
Anyway, questions for my fellow women -

- How did you integrate your diagnosis with life? (I'm currently in a rabbit hole of books, online therapy, Reddit boards etc - it's overwhelming, but not uncommon for me to deep dive, Autism much!)

- If you're partnered or have close family and friends, did you disclose? I've told my husband and one or two others but it's not something I feel comfortable sharing. ADHD might be a trendy thing at the moment, but for me Autism still has so much stigma.

- Any advice for how to just deal with life. I've heard so much. Exercise, protein, ACT therapy (done heaps of that before but not with this focus), books, podcasts. I'm already an 'organised' person - which just means I can't live without calendars, reminders, lists and having everything perfect otherwise I fall apart. Oh yeah, maybe that's the ADHD!

I just got my official diagnosis and started on Vyvance 20mg with optional dex 5mg top up if needed. I was wondering what everyone's first few days on it is like? Did you have any physical effects, or did it take a long time to kick in? I have combo with a heavier slant on ASD and its still a bit confusing if amphetamines will work for me or if they just help me to feel a bit happier because of the dopamine lift. But yeah, would love to know how you felt on it for the first week or so.
