NOTE: we are only addressing the "autistic lawyer" argument, not the specific combination of autistic traits and quirks that is Attorney Woo Young Woo.

This has to be addressed because there are people (hint: you only hear this from neurotypicals) claiming it is unlikely and/or unrealistic for an autistic to become an attorney.

Here are some examples of autistic lawyers:

2. For lawyers with autism, the work often pairs up with things they do well - https://www.abajournal.com/web/article/for-lawyers-with-autism-the-work-often-pairs-up-with-things-they-do-well
3. Life as a junior lawyer with autism - https://www.legalcheek.com/lc-careers-posts/life-as-a-junior-lawyer-with-autism/

The stereotype that autistics can only work in this and that field came from an ancient study; as well as from misconceptions. Autistics has proven otherwise. It's July 2022, let's update ourselves.

If you are active in any popular SNS, you can check these tags: #ActuallyAutistics / #ActuallyAutistic ; #AskingAutistics. We generally avoid the #autistics / #autistic hashtag. (Though some of us still use it.)
