Chris Fischer, Amy Schumer’s husband, was diagnosed with autism
Amy Schumer start, “It’s give us so many wonderful tools.”
The Life and Beth star, 40, said her husband is the “greatest partner ever” and that his diagnosis was like “having a superpower” on Wednesday’s edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She quipped to host Ellen DeGeneres, “All of his conduct is justified now. He will walk away if someone tells a long, dull story. He’ll go away, and I’ll be stuck there. Schumer noted that because many people aren’t aware of the autistic spectrum condition. She receives a lot of intriguing questions about Fischer. Whom she married in February 2018.
“People simply don’t understand autism,” she explained. “‘Oh, does he like to count?’ they say. Should we throw a few straws on the floor and see if he counts them?'”
According to the comic, Fischer was diagnose later in life, so the couple had a lot to learn about autism.
In March 2019, Schumer confirmed her husband’s diagnosis in her Netflix show Growing and advised others to get tested if they suspect we may be on the spectrum.
Fischer’s diagnosis, according to Schumer, has been “good” for their marriage, and the stigma surrounding autism is why they wanted to be open about their experience.
During a 2019 visit on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she noted. You’re not just diagnose and then thrown out. The skills we’ve been give have made his life so much easier and our marriage and our lives. So all I wanted to say was that people shouldn’t be afraid of the stigma. She’s also unconcern about the stigma around her and Fischer’s 22-year-old son Gene David. Last month, the I Feel Pretty star stated that she is “not hopeful either way” that Gene is autistic-like his father.
