When she drops the line about the guy in the audience saying, "Thank god she knows" or whatever it was about being tested for autism I died of laughter because that was exactly what I was thinking leading up to that. My kiddo and I are both autistic and they thought Fern was hilarious when I showed them this.

As an American, I absolutely love the Glaswegian accent. It makes everything sound unintentionally hilarious. I worked with a guy who was from a village outside of Glasgow and when he got pissed off about something and was venting it was so hard not to piss myself laughing every time. I had never heard of Fern before, but I'll definitely be checking out more of her bits.

Yeah, I get that distances in Europe must seem laughably small for an American. When you drive 5 hours, you are still in the same state. In Europe you can easily travel through 5 different countries in the same amount of time. :D Edinburgh and Glasgow have very different accents (look up interviews with Shirley Manson, who is from Edinburgh. While still having a clear scottish accent she sounds nothing like Fern or Limmy). But as I've said, I'm not from Scotland either, so what I say here might be complete horsesh... anyway. It's just that I made the mistake of calling an accent "glaswegian" once and then got a few angry responses from Scots telling me that the accent comes from small town to the south of Glasgow and sounds totally different from Glaswegian, haha. I was just trying to give you a small heads-up. :D@@Brando56894

I personally LOVE the Scottish accent and don’t in any way think it sounds anything but beautiful. It does not sound unintelligent, but as someone with a southern US accent, I empathize with this a LOT.

I’m waiting for it to come in. Her background is fascinating. Autism is a spectrum of disorders that manifest themselves in entirely different ways depending on the person. Liz Miele, another comic, is autistic. So is Catharine Brennan - an MIT professor who has a great backstory. One of my daughter close friends is autistic.. and both of my daughters work with special needs individuals at various points on the spectrum. Interesting but not for me.
