Young adults David and Lindsey are in love -- and each has autism. ------------------- [FEB 2009]GOOD MORNING AMERICA : ABC TV
story narrated by Robin Roberts |David Hamrick, 29, and Lindsey Nebeker, 27, look like a typical couple in love, but what's not apparent is how hard they've worked to be together.Hamrick and Nebeker live together in a Jackson, Miss., apartment, yet they have separate bedrooms, eat meals apart and spend most of their time focused on their own interests.This unusual setup is how Hamrick and Nebeker, who are both autistic, make their relationship work.About 1.5 million people in the United States have autism, with varying degrees of severity. Many people with autism struggle with the most basic social interactions, so finding love may seem like an impossibility.Hamrick and Nebeker are high-functioning but, since childhood, both have found it difficult to make friends and even harder to keep them."All of her socialization had to be learned, usually by hard experience," said Nebeker's father, Gordon Nebeker.Autistic people can also be hypersensitive to touch and sound. Hamrick can't stand when the room is too warm and cringes at certain sounds; Nebeker can't take florescent lights; and both are profoundly uncomfortable with small talk, said Lynn Harris, who profiled the couple for Glamour magazine.CONTINUE STORY: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/stor...AS I GAVE MY LIFE TO CHRIST IN THE YEAR 2003 I WAS SO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MUSIC .
