My parents always said I should be a lawyer when I grew up because I was so good at arguing. According to my dad, I could "argue with a dead man". Whenever someone was slighted somehow, I was always like, "We should sue them!" or "I want to sue!"
My mom often said I should be a lawyer because I liked to argue. I kind of s#cked at it sometimes thou & have disabilities that would really limit me with law including dyslexia, anxiety about public speaking & shuddering when I talk sometimes due to a tremor disorder that can affect my voice. I do sometimes find TV shows about lawyers interesting but I know I could never do that & don't really have a desire to. As for the arguing thing... My mom never understood my many disabilities, issues & Aspie quirks & was pretty critical of things. I felt I had to argue with her in order to have my needs met & have any kind of support & slack. I never liked arguing & it tended to ended up with me having a meltdown because I was not being listened to.
