Did someone on the spectrum take the LSAT just for kicks?

Vice features an article by Hanson O'Haver, who recently took the LSAT with no preparation and with no real intention to enroll in law school.

From the article:

Like most people, despite knowing better, I have always suspected that maybe somewhere out there is an activity at which I could be a genius. I've watched enough biopics to feel I possess some of the eccentricities—issues with shirt tags and sock seams and eye contact, repetitive food habits—that are the mark of singular achievers. But I am getting older, and lately have been aware I'm running out of time to be a wunderkind. I had been searching for my special talent when, at a dinner party, I found out one of the smartest people I know, newly unemployed, planned to spend four months studying for the LSAT like it was a full-time job.

What do you think? (Read: on the spectrum or not?)

(How did he do? Read The Fine Article. :D)
 
He seemed to have enjoyed the first part and end part, the middle he seemed to not like so much. Most definitely someone with spectrum traits. I might have liked taking it myself without studying, I did that throughout high school and did mediocre on some things, and well on others. Don't know about the lsat, but once looked though a book or two about it:)
 
Yeah I will take LSAT in next year but I am feeling very nervous for that. Actually it is very difficult for me to prepare for this. Even I am not able to find any good preparation material like Ebooks and LSAT Logic Games etc. Is there anyone who could help me regarding all this?
 
I don't do well on standardized test. I took the GRE and did mediocre at best. All I can say is good luck to you guys!

Why not? After all, Frank Abagnale Jr. passed Lousiana's bar exam without a law degree. Though he forged one from Harvard Law School just to get and hold a job with the state office of Attorney General at the tender age on nineteen. :p
