HFA/Asperger and Big Law Forum

[Nucky T]

I am new to these forums, but I am a 1L at a lower T14, and I am wondering what are the prospects for someone with Asperger Syndrome in a large law firm.

I've recently learned that law firms send their summer associates to social events and grade them on their performance there, and beyond this, the more I hear about careers in law, the more I wonder if I picked the wrong career.

I have a full-ride (will graduate with no debt) at my law school, so I suppose I could drop out with nothing lost. I am also thinking tax law might be a good bet (but I stupidly majored in History). I have the option at my school of adding a Master of Professional Accounting between my 2nd and 3rd years.

Do you guys think that tax law is a better bet for someone with social deficits like Asperger, or should I just drop out?

I've met plenty of socially awkward biglaw lawyers. Actually, almost all of them in some way.

Judging by the users on this forum, prospects are looking good.

No, not a troll. I've been browsing these forums for months but just registered to post a question to which I've been unable to obtain the answer from career counselors, etc.
