I am a 2L law student recently received late diagnosed high functioning autism diagnosis. I always thought I was just normal and that everyone likes numbers and 90 degree angles and sleeps on the floor of their bedroom when they want to destimulate 😅
I make straight As and have a tax SA lined up at Big4 but my prof has some BL colleagues she wants to introduce me to. I’m worried tho like are there are others like me who can thrive in these environments? Are there autistic partners?
I want to be at a firm long term, I value familiarity over other considerations and enjoy billing bc structure is calming af for me, and I have no interest in in-house but can someone like me even be ‘partner material?’ Im really excellent at masking im just exhausted after doing it for 31 years around ppl who just thought I was charismatically odd.
I feel so isolated and uncertain and have no one irl to ask about this. Has any one else ever been thru smth like this?
