Love on the Spectrum star Abbey Romeo has opened up about how her mom has kept her grounded amid her newfound fame.
Abbey, 26, was skyrocketed into the spotlight after she starred on the Netflix series Love on the Spectrum, which follows seven adults with autism as they attempt to navigate dating.
Viewers watched on as she fell in love with David Isaacman throughout the first season of the show, and their adorable love story seemed to capture the entire world.
But battling the sudden attention as someone on the spectrum isn't easy - thankfully, Abbey has her mom, Christine, by her side.
In honor of Mother's Day, Abbey - who teamed up with Uber Eats - spoke exclusively with DailyMail.com about how her mom has helped her adjust to her sudden thrust into the public eye.
'My mom doesn’t see it as fame. She says I’m an autism advocate and that I am sharing my story so we can help people,' she explained.
'We have a saying - the more you practice the easier it gets. Also she’s very proud of me and reminds me of how far I’ve come when I get stuck in the past.'
Abbey also dished on her 'favorite memory' with her mom.

'My favorite memory of just my mom and I is when we went to Hawaii,' shared the TV star.
'My mom won a trip to Maui and we stayed in a condo by the water and I swam very far out in the ocean.
'There were also sea turtles that came up to us on the beach! We named one of them Steve and he thought I was a mermaid.'
As for her favorite meal that she and her mom have shared, Abbey dished, 'Lobster and corn on the cob because our family is from New England where people do clambakes, but I don’t like clams so much. But I do eat octopus.'
The star also revealed the one gift she would get her mom for Mother's Day if she could buy her anything.
'I choose to buy her a new car like a BMW or something because her car is 11 years old and I think she should drive me around in a nicer car,' she said.

And what better way to show them just how much you love and care by sending them some stunning flowers?
