Biography
Cameron A. Straughan is an autistic Canadian writer, photographer, film maker and teacher of science.
He was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism (Asperger Syndrome Profile) in May 2017. The diagnosis, after decades of not knowing why he was ‘different’ and didn't seem to fit in, was a mainly positive experience which he is still adapting to. On the positive side, his autism has gifted him with a vivid imagination, unique perspectives, distinctive sense of humour and an absurd view of life, which he freely expresses in his writing.
His writing has appeared in several popular publications including 'Satire: The Journal of Contemporary Satire', 'The Dream People Online Literary Journal' and 'Black Cat 115'. He has performed his short stories at several open-mike events; including readings in Windsor, Ontario, and throughout Vancouver, BC. His award-winning humorous films have appeared in many festivals around the world.
