Hi everyone! Love the idea of this bowl! My kid was recently diagnosed with HFA and feeling overwhelmed with all the therapies we will need to do... looking for any advice for how to balance with work

I can tell my personal experience, when my child got diagnosed at 2 years, my kid is now 7 years
Therapies are multiple like speech, occupational, etc and it will be overwhelming initially to understand what is going on..
On top of that, I joined a new /big team at that time ( this was when Accenture Digital was just formed)
Trying to do 2 new things did not work for me, also my boss changed making it more complicated
I went back to an area of work I am comfortable and the work was flexible, great decision if I look back, As Accenture is valuing more specialists than generalists
I did share my situation with a few leaders in my team and continue to do that every time leadership changes
I moved from being a individual contributor to focusing on building teams, make sure I found a niche that is important but no one is focusing and build team around it
I am still learning to have more empathy towards my kid when it gets very challenging in terms of behaviour

I’m hesitant about ABA the autistic community is overwhelmingly against ABA. Many parents swear by it, but autistic adults seem to condemn it.

Autistic adults do tend to support speech, OT, music therapy, etc. ABA or any sort of “behavior” therapy is generally frowned upon. I have mixed thoughts.

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
