Throughout their time together, Schumer has openly discussed her marriage in various forums, using Fischer’s experiences in her comedy. In her Netflix special “Growing,” she revealed that Fischer is on the autism spectrum, providing insight into their unique relationship dynamics.
Reflection on Autism Spectrum Disorder
In her special, Schumer shared that Fischer was diagnosed with what was previously termed Asperger’s.
