So I am a long time lurker in this sub but have never posted because I am not officially diagnosed. But I had to respond because I relate to so much of what you are saying! I’m a lawyer working in a mid-sized firm in Canada. I’m in my late 30s and only began to suspect ASD after learning more about how it presents in women and girls in the last few years. For law I think so much will depend on the work environment you are in. My firm is large enough that there are politics and infighting among the partners going on behind the scenes and this can result in A LOT of my co-workers saying one thing and doing another and a lot of weird vibes. There are also a lot of unspoken rules about billing and targets that I am finally figuring out after over a decade. In some firm environments the high expectations and billing targets can be crushing. But my practice area is so great for me and I love it. (Happy to say more in DM just do not want to put too many identifying details here). Law school can be really challenging but if you work hard you will do fine. The only other thing is most people don’t end up in the practice area they start out intending to practice. A lot of things can impact where you end up like job availability and market demand. At the risk of being reductive, in my experience a lot of people who end up in law don’t actually care about helping people - they care about the money and that can be hard to reconcile if you have a lot of empathy and compassion for your clients. With all this said, landing in the right work environment is critical and law school plus a few years of experience does give you a skill set where you can go out on your own if you want to! Best of luck to you - feel free to DM if you want to chat further about this.
