[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on your OP if you don’t make partner it will be for being too [b]aspie[/b], which caused you to make a post like this, vs the way you live. I’ve been practicing law over a decade and for 90% of my colleagues, I have no idea what their living situation is like. They could all live in shoebox studios for all I know. [/quote]

I was thinking that, but I don't know. My husband and son are Aspie. They wouldn't think of asking a question like this. I almost feel like this thread is aspirational and there's no way OP is close to making partner. Whatever the reason for OP's aggressive frugality, it certainly grates on posters on DCUM, so it will grate on OP's colleagues in real life. Bottom line, how much better is your work compared to someone who is more normal?

I’m the partner who posted a longer response that thinks op has a cultural mismatch, and I also was thinking aspie. Also have a spectrum kid and he would not have struggled with this issue (his issue is not giving any thought to other people and social relationships, rather than overthinking it) but it is regularly said that you meet one asd kid you’ve met one asd kid.
