My 12 week old kitten (Autum) will not stop biting. I've tried everything I could think of, but yet she still gets excited and chews on me like her first fresh kill. I don't know what to do about this. Can someone help me?

First, don't play with her using your hands. Use a wand toy or stuffed toy. If she bites you, have something handy to redirect her to. Next, when she bites, use a high-pitched shrieking noise, like "Eeee!" This is how cats tell each other, "You've hurt me!" She will learn this way.
Don't pull your hand or foot away, just stay still and make the noise. Pulling away makes them think you are playing keep-away, and that makes them even more excited for this "fun game."
Thanks I will try this. Update will come soon (hopefully).
