Dr Monique Botha is an Autistic Research Fellow at the University of Stirling. Monique’s PhD in Psychology from the University of Surrey focused on the role minority stress plays in the poor mental health experienced by Autistic people, and further, how Autistic community connectedness may “buffer” those effects. Monique is interested in the intersection of autism, sexuality, and gender, and lastly, the role that language used about autism plays in stigma and marginalisation.
