Ep 5: Thriving with Autism: Chris Fischer - Eating in Isolation

Growing up isolated on Martha’s Vineyard, James Beard Media Award winning Chef Chris Fischer never thought he was different. He grew up problem solving and learning about the farming ecosystem, and later spent years in some of the best kitchens around the world, like Babbo and River Cafe in London. He eventually returned to the Vineyard to run the restaurant Beach Plum Inn and take over his family-owned Beetlebung Farm with innovation and optimism. In 2019, Fischer was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In today’s episode, he discusses the difficult process of receiving a diagnosis (first observed by his wife, comedian and actor Amy Schumer) and the ultimate gift it has been. Fischer reflects on how ASD has effected his work and relationships in and out of the kitchen and suggests some practices he’s adapted since the diagnosis that have helped him thrive.
