Hey. I'm new here.

Let me introduce myself. I am a law student from Wyoming who is entering their last year of law school. Of late, I have been having difficulties finding and maintaining internships. However, let me dive deeper into myself before I explain of that. I am 23 and have had ADHD since I was 6 and had AS since I was 12. I am also recently divorced with a 1-year-old child named Lily, who does not regularly live with me. I originally wanted to become a geneticist when I was 12 years old, in the hopes that I could be part of the effort to help us all "get better". However, since that time I have learned that many with PDD/AS/NLD don't want to get better, but to celebrate their differences. Personally, I still hope that I can "get better" before I die, perhaps through stem cell injections or wearable/Implantable AI, but I respect the views of others. When I was 15, I started to develop an interest in the law because of all the dubious politics that had an affect on my life at that point. However, because of my diagnosis, most psychiatrists told me to stick to Natural Science College. However, that made me feel antagonized, so I decided to flow with my new career path. I have also taken up weight lifting and cardio to help deal with the general poor health and physical inability that has been generalized to AS. I believe the way AS causes me the most grief is that fact that I have almost no attention span when it comes to my environment and those within it. Sometimes I pick up on everything, but 90% of the time time I come of as clumsy, gullible, gaffe prone and generally unpleasant. The question I have here is what to do when I am in the situation that I am in.

Hi Happy_Weasel, Welcome to WP, I also have ADHD, on top of dyslexia, lots of fun there, I am a self Dx aspie.
So you like ferrets and weasels?

Yeah. My parents and brothers don't like 'em, but I think they're small dogs that are so filled with antics.

welcome~ i almost got a pet ferret when one of my pet rats died in 2000, but we got a kittycat instead :3 and honestly, most aspies dont want to "get better" because there are a decent amount of benefits to being an aspie. however, i believe we should try to "get better" in the areas where we lack, while keeping the part of AS that are good
