24 year old woman in Florida becomes first lawyer with autism

 📍 (Coral Gables, Fl)

Haley Moss got admitted to the Florida Bar last month, which makes her the first “openly autistic lawyer”. Diagnosed with autism at 3 years old, she was told by doctors she wouldn’t be able to do much, but look at her proving them wrong. At 15 years old she published her first book sharing her life experiences with ASD. Now she will be practicing law with an emphasis on health care and international matters. She hopes by sharing her story and through her advocacy, she can make a difference in someone else’s life.

"I am motivated to show that anything is possible, especially when others say it is impossible.”
