Gene will have to wait until he is older to receive an official diagnosis.

"He's two and a half and I think they don't diagnose children until maybe six at the earliest I think. You can see some signs but the diagnosis doesn't come until later and I can say honestly I don't have a preference either way," she continued, concluding: "You just want your kids to be healthy and happy."

Amy's husband, American chef Chris Fischer has been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. 

The stand-up comic revealed this news in her 2019 Netflix Special Growing. Yet, she doesn't see autism as a negative concept, saying: "How I cope? I don’t see being on the spectrum as a negative thing."
