My name is Leonard (William is my middle name). I'm a 34 black male who lives in NYC. I'm an aspie. I went to law school in order to please my parents. I hated every minute of it. It took me three attempts to pass the NY Bar exam. Now, I have two part time jobs- one is at a law firm that I hate. My boss is an as*hole who always yells at me. I get paid McDonalds wages and I'm basically a glorified paralegal. My second job is tutoring economics at a community college that I graduated from. I somewhat enjoy this job since I have an excuse to talk to women. However, this doesn't pay enough to be a full time gig.

At the age of 34, I still live with my parents. I never had a girlfriend. Women don't like guys who are shy and docile. I've wasted money on speed dating events, dance classes, etc. It's frustrating. Almost all of my family members and Facebook friends are either married or in relationships.

I don't consider myself to be boring. I'm a train enthusiast. I also like baseball, basketball, and photography. I just don't know how to interact with people. And even if I did, almost all of the women my age are off the market.

So to summarize, I'm a 34 year old who's frustrated with life. I made the mistake of entering a field full of cutthroat and conniving liars. I hate my job and I'm upset that I don't have a wife or girlfriend.

Welcome to WP! You will find all types of interesting folk on here. I wish you a happy stay!

I reckon law is a pretty cutthroat field. Not a nice one unless you can become a top lawyer earning the kind of rip-off rates they charge their clients. I'm sorry your boss is such a jerk. The tutoring sounds better.

You might find a woman on the spectrum with similar interests to yours. Here in South Africa in our autism group are women who have their special interests, for instance one of them has a fascination with snakes and volunteers at the local snake park.

You like trains! Welcome to Wrong Planet.

Have you attended any meetings of Aspies for Social Success here in NYC? See their July calendar.

Occasionally other lawyers attend also. I hope you can find a better job.

Personally I think someone should create an organization of lawyers who are on the spectrum. (I believe that the autistic community needs to become better organized in general, including organizations for various professions/occupations that are common among us.)

Anyhow, welcome to WP.
