When I was brought on the Big Bang Theory, a lot of people felt like Sheldon Cooper should be asexual.

0:08.0

He shouldn't date, like this shouldn't happen.

0:10.2

My character got a lot of hate for it and I guess me by extension.

0:12.8

But what we tried to show is that there is someone for everyone.

0:16.0

Amy at first was written a lot more socially awkward,

0:19.6

1:12.0

you want to feel a level of comfort, but it may

1:14.3

take years as it did with Sheldon and Amy to reveal all those things. If you're on the

1:19.4

autism spectrum, you're perfect exactly the way you are. And it may be a little bit more

1:25.3

challenging to sort of find that match, but it absolutely is possible.

1:28.7

It's my and B. Alex breakdown, she's going to break it down for you because you know she

1:34.9

knows a thing or two. So now she's going to break down. So break down. She's
