Twenty-one years after she was diagnosed with autism, 24-year-old Haley Moss, who was recently sworn into the Florida Bar, says she doesn’t let others’ expectations define her, instead embracing her strengths and differences. Moss is a published author, a law school graduate and a practicing lawyer, but when she was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old, doctors didn’t think she would accomplish any of those things.
She says the doctors told her parents she would likely never graduate from high school, get a driver’s license or even make a friend.
But Moss was determined to defy the doctors’ low expectations. She credits her parents for instilling in her a positive association with her diagnosis through the mantra “don’t deny the diagnosis, embrace it,” according to the Daily Business Review.

Cave man lawyer. Phil Hartmann. Murdered by his wife.
Those sorts and ADDxxx types get 1-2 hours more to complete an exam than the rest. What a scam.
I worked with one. He was excellent with contracts and real estate and pretty decent with criminal law. He did struggle a bit with family law but since he was paired with a paralegal (me) who would clue him in to verbal cues and "the empathy thing" he was surprisingly successful even in that specialty.
His research skills, dedication to success, and personal integrity were impressive.
Bingo! The Autism organizations pulling in crap evidence/suppositions to support their already crap diagnosis and parasitic careers on the government dime. (Whew! I feel better now.)
Good enough for Florida.
Yes, good ones to push out the bad ones. 8>)
