great to learn she overcame her disability , but do we need more lawyers?

[BenLurkin]

Plenty of autistic lawyers already, I suspect. Lots.

She might be OK in one of the more tedious and technical areas of the law. Say, taxation, or trust/estate design.

She probably doesn’t have much in the way of people skills, nor much hope of developing them.

Good for her. I think the article is saying she passed the Bar in her first try. That’s a big deal.
I wish her the best, but the marketplace does not guarantee anyone success.

The simple truth, is if I heard that my lawyer was autistic, I would be inclined to chose a lawyer who was not autistic. I hope she is already aware of that hard truth, and will be tough enough, creative enough to find her own niche anyway.

It helps that she is an attractive young lady, and dresses very well. She at least looks like a professional.
So that helps with first impressions. I don’t know what she sounds like.

Perhaps the diagnosis was wrong to begin with ?

“432, 432, 432”
Client: “What’s 432?”
Lawyer: “You’ve broken 432 laws, Mrs Clinton”

"Ladies and gentlemen of the City Council, I'm just autistic ... Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see your tall buildings and flashing neon signs, sometimes I just want to get away as fast as I can, to my place in Martha's Vineyard. ...

When I see a solar eclipse, like the one I went to last year in Hawaii, I think 'Oh no! Is the moon eating the sun?' I don't know. Because I'm a autistic -- that's the way I think.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m getting an idea......a show like Matlock, but where the lead character suffers from Tourettes.

Think I should pitch the networks?

If she loses a case, she can fall on the floor and scream.

Wasn’t it Einstein that was believed to have been autistic?

PAM Dirac had form of autism.
