CNN reports Amy Schumer is hopeful that at some point being diagnosed with autism will be no big deal. The comedian/actress appeared on Wednesday night's episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and discussed why she chose to go public with her husband Chris Fischer's diagnosis of high-functioning autism spectrum disorder.
Schumer opened up about it in her new Netflix special "Growing," which started streaming Tuesday. She told Meyers: "That's why we both wanted to talk about it because it's been totally positive. I think a lot of people resist getting diagnosed and even some of their children because of the stigma that comes along with it."
