Yes and other organisations like the Government Legal Department. There won't be many, but there will be some.
when im applying for vac schemes can i talk about my autism or is that not mitigating circumstances rather then a disability?

also is there any graduate recruitment people from law firms on here that i can contact?

Your autism is a mitigating circumstance all the time it is undiagnosed/you were not receiving support for it.

We don’t have details of law firms’ graduate recruitment teams. You’d need to contact them directly via their Early Careers website.

Feel free to private message me with a summary of what you would write and I can advise on this.
