About the Author

I’m Kourtnie, an autistic writer and community college professor.

Cleo’s Autism Awareness is my April 2018-19 creative writing project for exploring my autism, after receiving an adult diagnosis.

I have several other writing projects. Visit Kourtnie.net for a complete list of publications and projects, or head to my Wattpad to read poetry, genre fiction, and creative nonfiction.

I know for many people, hair is gross, but for those of you who aren’t grossed out—especially if it’s your own hair, collected into a thick layer on your own brush—it’s fun to experiment with how strong your tangled hair can be by trying to open a hole in the middle of it... Of course, this experiment also requires you to build up a fair amount of hair on your brush, and that can take awhile. I imagine the results are wildly different based on hair types, hair lengths, and density of hair (i.e., number of hair brushing sessions) collected into the sample. 🙃

Buttacuppa is hard to photograph; she runs if you’re far away, but looking at her (“Why is she looking at me but not coming over here!?”), and she flops around (in heart-melting ways 😻😻😻) when you pet her. So this gallery of Buh becomes increasingly blurry as I smash my camera button through flops, hoping to get a good one in (which is also how I play Street Fighter). #tortiesofinstagram #tortitude #kittycat

Stop laughing at me, Greg! I’m grading my hardest!—nonono, that’s not a good word choice... ...MY DARNEST! #catsofinstagram #tabbycatsofinstagram and #nofilterneeded because I’m a play-pretend cat photographer who got a B in Photo 5

I rode my bicycle until my emotions went from pure joy to exhausted joy, and this is what I clocked. I am out of shape, but I knew that already. If I do this every day or two, I wonder how long until I get to 20 minutes without tiredness?

My #waterspeakers are finally dying—one of them won’t dance anymore—but they’re 3+ years, so they’re still better than any of the previous ones. Thought I’d #slomo the speaker that works, because why not?
