Stirling Autism Research is exceptionally fortunate to have Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️ as its director, a bold, progressive, visionary leader; excellent mentor to many; & rigourous scholar in quantitative, qualitative, & participatory methods. Eildh Cage & Catherine Grainger are big losses but future looks bright

Some big news! We are gutted to announce that Eilidh and Catherine Grainger as of the beginning of the year have left STAR. It's an immense loss that can't be under estimated. We live on though with Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️ at the helm now!

Delighted to have been awarded one of these to write a History of the Medical Humanities, a strangely neglected topic in the UK.

Our study on sensory experiences when engaging with nature is still open! If you’re an autistic adult, we’d love to hear from you.

Our new paper led by Sarah is out today in Autism In Adulthood!

It shows that facial expressivity differences in autism are related to less favorable first impressions formed by non-autistic people, particularly in a job interview context.
