Amy Schumer reveals husband is on spectrum

[Anonymous]

I know there will lots of opinions which is awesome, but and I also know some here don't really care to hear about those who are higher functioning so I apologize and please skip if this doesn't give you the warm fuzzies or if it upsets you. It really gave me a lot of hope. The things she loved most about him were quirks related to his different way of relating. I also think she is helping normalize dating and marrying someone on the spectrum. It seems like nobody would think twice if you married someone with ADHD, but autism people might side eye. She can add humor to the experience and make it something cool. Not expressing myself well, but it just really made me feel hopefully that is a milestone my child on the spectrum might reach. I really want my child to find a life long partner one day who finds the quirks endearing. Not trying to be hetereocentric...I wouldn't mind which gender the partner is as long as it's a good match.

OMG apparently I am challenged by the English language and barely coherent. Please ignore all grammar issues and word issues above. I was up with a sick kid last night.

There are many, many, many happily married people that would have been diagnosed with autism if they were children today, but it wasn’t being diagnosed back then.

at least he has a barrier to protect himself from her 24-7 . . .

She falls during a walk and "He kind of froze and became a lighthouse, opening and closing his mouth." This is endearing and makes her love him.

Uh, ok? also: lighthouse? does she know what they actually do?

My oldest DC is on the HFA end of the autism “spectrum” or tree. The facilitator of his weekly therapy group said that he will probably get marred later rather than earlier and that as some point, some women will seek him out because he is kind, intelligent, reliable, true and will have a good safe job (he is majoring in computer engineering).

My sister who is 40 is just about to marry a 43 year old man with HFA. He is an awesome guy and treats her really well. he works really hard to do all the right boyfriend / husband things - he researched and created a list and keeps adding to it as he finds other things he can do! He doesn't always get it right in terms of execution but just the effort he puts in to wanting to be the best boyfriend / husband is almost as good.

I'd rather be with someone like him ^^^ over the self-absorbed, narcissists I run into on a daily basis! Good for your sister!

Love these stories. (OP here)>

My husband is in the spectrum and it was such a mistake to get married. How mother is so grateful he found someone to marry, and I really like my in-laws

[Anonymous]

Yeah, he's just a guy like a lot of guys. Are all engineers, male or female on the spectrum. No. Labeling is pretty ridiculous now. What is the purpose of it? Does he need an IEP code?

Can slow people really consent to normal people? It seems kind of messed up

You don’t know what autism is, do you? Slow is not the word. They make a million more leaps than you do, mentally. The leaps are most often not in the social realm, however. Not getting/being aware of something doesn’t make them “slow”.

That lighthouse description makes perfect sense to me. That is exactly my sister. Tall, standing there, gulping air... something is registering... but guaranteed her triaging of questions/concerns/comments will be off the wall and most likely unhelpful but logical and very entertaining when it does come.
