Kaitlin Schifano is an autistic writer who offers commentary on world events and cultural trends. Drawing from her rich experiences growing up neurodivergent in the American South, Kaitlin crafts engaging fiction and non-fiction works that reflect her unique perspective. In her free time, you can usually find her reading, negotiating with her two ill-behaved dogs, or listening to Taylor Swift.

After stepping away from her job as an English teacher during the COVID-19 pandemic to pursue a career change, Kaitlin enrolled in a writing intensive where she completed a series of nonfiction essays about American Southern culture. Since then, she has found her niche in reporting on current events and the changing mental health landscape.
