Love on the Spectrum couple Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman recently split after over four years of dating, and now Abbey’s mom, Christine, is speaking out.
“Abbey and David had a long relationship of four-and-a-half years…Abbey has grown a ton since she started both social media and Love on the Spectrum,” Christine explained on YouTube. “She started to understand her own story [and] see herself as a person with autism in the world, learn how to accept her autism and still try to have a relationship and fit in. None of the growth would have happened without David.”
Christine added that “David was happy in his way of doing life” while “Abbey’s was different,” going on to say, “I’m personally grateful to David for being a mirror for her to see and figure out what she wants, who she is, what’s [her] love language. The other part of that is please don’t judge autistic relationships as if they were typical. So many people on the spectrum are not going to do what typical people do.”
She made sure to point out that Abbey and David will “have a forever-bond” and that “There was no fight over engagements and rings being thrown around.”
The former couple had previously released a statement through their families, saying, “Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other. At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”
