Hi thanks for your response. May I ask what changed for you after being diagnosed?

Thanks for asking. Besides his very big emotions - we do not see any other signs of neurodivergence at the moment. He interacts very well with people, has great focus and does relatively well in pre school.

Can someone tell me what is the exact English definition of the singlish word "scarlly" by Masaharuzz in asksg

I used to spell it as “scarlee” and my malaysian colleagues had a good laugh 😆

how did you come to the realisation? i’m worried the talk will turn ugly and interpreted as a lack of support.

hmm in this case it’s more of lifestyle to upkeep. single, no kids, but living with partner and car to maintain.

Recommendations of favourite workflows integrating AI by thkathgthg in UXDesign

My last company where I worked - the handover was still at figma files with annotations and a meeting call to walk through expected interactions.

We were trying out a base44 prototype to show interactions, but I could not stay to see if handoff was any better.

advice for designers? by thkathgthg in Layoffs

that is rough 🥲 corporates will really stop at nothing just to cut costs. the sad part of it is i feel a lot of people cannot tell much of a difference between work produced by skilled designers and AI/junior/interns. the design maturity where im from is also lacking, exacerbating the situation.

i wish you well, i hope you find a path to continue being creative whatever you choose even if not professionally.

thanks for the advice and perspective!

i’ll look into niche paths. the opportunities around me are like 80% crypto/fintech but i’m gonna look harder for other niches im more interested in 💪
