Peter O’Neil was preparing for retirement after decades of practicing law when he learned that he was autistic at the age of 65. This realization inspired his memoir My So-Called Disorder: Autism, Exploding Trucks, and the Big Daddy of Rock and Roll, in which he looks back at his life and legal career to better understand how his neurodiversity played a role in both his most significant personal challenges and the unique professional talents which helped him to take on some of the largest corporations in the US as a products liability attorney. In this unusual intergenerational exchange between lawyers on the spectrum, Peter and Matt discuss their experiences and appreciate the ways that these so-called “disorders” have made them who they are. Peter O'Neill is the author of <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/My-So-Called-Disorder-Autism-Exploding/dp/B0BYCCZ53D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">My So-Called Disorder, Autism, Exploding Trucks, and the Big Daddy of Rock and Roll</a>, this month's OA Book Club pick.
