I'm interested in law. I know I would be a terrible criminal/civil/family/any kind of lawyer that deals mainly with people, but I think I might be ok if I was making contracts or patents, something that was mainly paperwork. I find trouble with logic/philosophical arguments that they want you to be good at if you go into law, but I might try anyways. Law at first glance doesn't seem like something a person with AS would naturally be good at, but I was wondering if anybody here studies Law/is a lawyer.

Law might not be a very good field. I will admit a lack of personal experience, but attorney was ranked by US news as one of the most overrated professions.

The careers they liked are here:

Hopefully this will give you more information on this issue and perhaps something on that list may make a good enough substitute or something.

Thanks for your reply, I am enjoying both these pages, especially the one about attorneys. I just wish I knew what to do for a career.

from what i hear, law covers a lot, such as taxes; you might find an area not so dependent on social interactionj
