Music movie and Sia

Untoward

Did anyone watch the movie Music or heard about the controversy?

Apparently she badly misrepresented autistic people and then doubled down and said a lot of things that pissed people off.

I've only just heard about it, wondering what others think. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLBl3he3Nqg

Also do you think it is acceptable to cast a non-autistic person as an autistic character?

    It seems its not just Sia though, everything fro Big Bang Theory to Rainman to Predator... less than 10% of those with autism display Rainman like intelligence and I didn't catch the % of those at the other end. The above review points out just how the industry pick and choose, and end up at one or other end, disregarding the fact its a spectrum. I'm keen to watch the new autism drama series on Prime, as I'm hoping with more than one autistic character, we may finally get a more varied view of "the spectrum".
