Perspective: Amy Schumer was honest about her husband’s autism, and I’m crying
Amy Schumer Comedy Special 2018. By Whitney Ellenby April 5 at 8:00 AM I wasn’t prepared for this. The only time I weep during Amy Schumer gigs is when she brazenly upends accepted truths with such dexterity that I’m laughing and gasping for air at her brilliant observations.
Seeking a brief getaway from my own life in Schumer’s stand-up, she suddenly caught me off-guard. I already knew that the titular character of “Growing” was married and pregnant, and that she would have her own trademark heretical take on both institutions. “Once he was diagnosed, it dawned on me how funny it was because all of the characteristics that make it clear that he's on the spectrum are all of the reasons that I fell madly in love with him,” Schumer said.
Whitney Ellenby in 2014 with her son Zack Hunter Reuben, now 18, and her daughter Cassie Todd Reuben, now 13. Schumer nailed a fundamental point often overlooked in our competitive culture: What a person with autism will not do is lie, cheat, engage in misogyny, bigotry or denigrate others to make themselves feel superior.
As Schumer explains in interviews, she spoke up about her husband’s autism to subvert the stigma, sharing that both she and Fischer sought counseling to help them navigate the now clearer terrain that explains why his brain works differently than hers. No judgment. Just curiosity, discovery, then compatibility.
