Apart from the kids piece (none yet), your experience matches mine to the T.
I've found that management has left me in a better place of balance. Less hyperfocus (on the occasions it can be useful), but also better able to do the long term day to day because things are a bit more dynamic. Not without many challenges, especially in a world with more remote work. The combination of Zoom and Slack is devastating for my attention. Though slack reminders keep me tied together in more ways than one, too.
Will say that I recently went for rediagnosis to see if meds can help. Low dose, short duration meds have been pretty great for me since. Don't feel the need to take them daily, but having it as an option to achieve a normal executive function is something I should have done a lot sooner.
