Schumer, who gave birth to her son Gene in May 2019, took to Instagram on her son's first birthday in 2020 to thank her husband Chris Fischer for his love and support during her three-hour C-section. She also opened up about her husband being on the autism spectrum and encouraged her followers to educate themselves on autism.
"We want to encourage parents and people to give themselves the gift of information so people can function to the best of their abilities and remove any stigma that comes with autism," she wrote. "Statistically our son most likely will be diagnosed as well and if he’s anything like his father that is wonderful news."
