But one commenter had a totally different type of documentary in mind, saying: "I think you're great, I just feel like it's self serving and overdone. I'd like to see a documentary of you discovering your mate is diagnosed with autism and how you cope with the possibility that you child will be on the spectrum..."
Well, not being one to back down from a challenge, Amy shared exactly how she felt about this commenter's suggestion.
"How I cope?" the comedian started off. "I don't see being on the spectrum as a negative thing. My husband is my favorite person I've ever met. He's kind, hilarious, interesting and talented and I admire him. Am I supposed to hope my son isn't like that? I will pay attention and try and provide him with the tools he needs to overcome whatever challenges come up like all parents. I'd be disappointed if he liked the Big Bang Theory and Nascar not if he has ASD."
Fans applauded her point of view. "Thank you for your wonderful response to the question about your son being autistic or not," one commenter shared. "As a parent of an autistic son, I applaud you for sticking up for something so misunderstood. I have so much respect for you and wish nothing but the best for your family."
"I knew from the beginning my husband's brain was a little different than mine," says Amy in the special. "My husband was diagnosed with what used to be called Asperger's. He has autism spectrum disorder. He's on the spectrum. And there were some signs early on."
Btw, if you're still hoping for a Netflix special on Amy's pregnancy and birth, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Lala Anthony, and Glenn Close also chimed in with comments encouraging Amy to go for it. Fingers crossed...
