Americans will use autumn, but it sounds stiff and formal to my ears. You might use it in a poem or report but not so often in conversation. In my opinion. I'm from the Midwest.

Click to expand... NOT A TEACHER Sometimes Americans "have to" use autumn. For example: "fall leaves [of a tree]" would simply not be acceptable.
