What type of club? I joined the "Autism Speaks" chapter of my university. Can't think of anything else, certainly not that I could get involved in as a 2L. I'm on Law Review already, which sucks because hard-charging Type A people are not those with whom I normally click. My school isn't high-ranked enough (it's #16) to the point that "law review" = the spectrum. At my school, "law review" = the overachievers who've always been president of everything, many of whom have impeccable social skills, 90% of whom have nailed down big firm jobs. I think I click much better with the public interest people, but don't really know how to break into that crowd.evilxs wrote:You seem to value fitting in and what others think.
Be who you are and just be awesome and folks will come to you. A club, competition team, or something else is a good way to get into a group where you might find more luck.
I am aspie, had very few friends in law school, am in tax (you bastards haha), and took the bar exam today (fuck me).
Accept who you areI luvs myself.
Most of the folks in law school really were not worth getting to know. And then there are some pretty amazing people. Gotta strike a balance.
I "was who I am" for many years, which is why I had/have an awful life. I wasn't diagnosed until last fall, so I only then started taking steps to fix my behaviors (part of being on the spectrum is not being aware of bad or weird behaviors). I think I've been successful, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the real world since social circles are pretty much set.
Any other ideas that I could do as a 2L?
