@CathSGrainger@DrMBotha We hope that @StirAutism will still go strength to strength working with autistic people to create meaningful, impactful, important research. And it's also pretty cool to have an autism research led by an autistic person. Watch this space for upcoming projects!
Some big news! We are gutted to announce that Eilidh and @CathSGrainger 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 @DrMBotha at the helm now!
It's a terrible loss, both selfishly for us at STAR and also for wider academia. We are exceptionally lucky that @CathSGrainger will continue to be involved supervising one of our (fab) PhD students externally as well as on a project funded by the Carnegie alongside
@DrMBotha
We're recruiting for a fully-funded PhD studentship @centre_ub🎓Developing digital tools to improve screening for autism: Identifying diagnostic markers based on bodily movements🏃🏽Supervised by @Jennifer_L_Cook, @HannahESHeath, & I - deadline 16th May ⬇️ https://t.co/SbLvBDfJKR🧵
I am deeply, deeply proud to have been involved in this project.
Relationships are the embodiment of human connection, & identifying healthy relationships in the midst of a life that involves consistent invalidation, dehumanisation & internalised stigma is that much harder
Fantastic to see this out! A healthy relationships guide co-created to tackle understanding the signs of unhealthy, abusive relationships. We know autistic people are more likely to experience intimate partner violence & wanted a clear and concise guide for recognizing red flags
Come join @StirAutism! We are currently an autsitic lead research group with many fantastic participatory and autistic led research projects and opportunities.
We are currently recruiting for a Lecturer in Psychology (Autism/Child Development). Full details of the post can be found here: https://t.co/mOWMPYo83H

@DrRJChapman @AnnMemmott @DrAmyPearson@milton_damian We know that autistic people don't have the same rights, experience inequality, and fight to get to be themselves, fight to get support for themselves and often their families too. Research can be powerful, but only if we deeply involve autistic people and their families.
Happy World Autism Acceptance Day. Here at STAR we are very passionate about autistic-led, participatory, and meaningful scholarship that can make a difference in the lives of autistic people!
@DrRJChapman @AnnMemmott @DrAmyPearson@milton_damian Autistic people change the way we think about the world, and while this post has highlighted some big names, we also want to celebrate all the autistic people world over who challenge neuronormativity and inequality. Autistic people should get to live full supported lives.
