📢I am currently looking for autistic women and non-binary folk to take part in a participatory zine-making study about media representations of autism! Links to express interest: form.jotform.com/sarahpxtodanta… (standard version) / form.jotform.com/sarahpxtodanta… (easy-read version)

🔎In our survey study, autistic people in Scotland rated 'mental health and wellbeing' as a top autism research priority. For this reason, our team is currently developing our next study focusing on understanding how autistic people construct wellbeing and what contributes to it!

Last days to express interest! Still needing two participants - please share 🙂

I had a really great meeting with Sarah Dantas to discuss the upcoming participatory exhibition she has been developing as part of her PhD. It has been amazing watching (& playing a wee part) in Sarah's work since her MSc to now. ☺️ To find out more: stir.ac.uk/events/2024-25…

Please consider taking part in Andrew's Project!

I am hosting a mini photo exhibit and interactive talk with the wonderful Aimee about my participatory Photovoice and Zine-making research at Stirling Libraries. This is part of the Economic and Social Research Council festival of Social Science. You can book a free ticket at tickettailor.com/events/iaa1/13…

I had a great time at Stirling Autism Research's Sarah Dantas event for the Autistic Lens exhibition she is launching as part of her PhD research. It was great to see some of the photos, listen to Sarah explain the project & to speak about my involvement. Can't wait to visit when it opens!

After 2 years of work, the opening event of our Autism through an Autistic Lens Exhibit at the Tolbooth. Autistic narratives under the spotlight! Thank you to all wonderful participants, and Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️, @DrCarolJasper, Catherine Grainger and Aimee for the contributions!

Had a top day at the Autism through an Autistic Lens exhibit at the Tolbooth gallery in Stirling yesterday so thought I'd share some of my contributions. Enjoy. More here: autastical.blogspot.com

I really recommend visiting this exhibition if you can get to Tolbooth in Stirling. "Autism Through an Autistic Lens" is a powerful exhibition produced by & with #ActuallyAutistic people. The messages communicated through the photos, zines & labels are simply amazing.

I was the poetry winner of this year's Falkirk Council writing competition - wohoo! A great way to celebrate book week Scotland :)
