He has published various works, including poetry and reviews of contemporary art.

His notable publications include 'Dans la vallée des larmes' (2019), 'Soigner', and 'Le Dedans des choses', all released by Gallimard. He is also the author of 'Pussyboy', which deals with themes of erotic passion, and 'Les Irréguliers', which focuses on the struggles of illegal immigrants in France. His works 'Le Grand Vivant' and 'La Voix écrite' explore the intersection of literature and medicine. He has received nominations for literary awards such as the Prix Décembre and Prix Femina. Autréaux served as a writer-in-residence at Boston University and has been affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he taught seminars on trauma literature.
