Sia gets more backlash for offensive portrayal of autistic people in new film

I’m watching Sia’s movie, in order to write a detailed & chronological review (so that nobody else watches it out of curiosity).

But for now, I just want the public to see a few things that speak for themselves, starting with this image: pic.twitter.com/jPqtd5tLOz

The twitter account Autisticats screened Sia's debut film 'Music' to write a review, and they shared with social media a few examples of the offensive portrayal of autistic people in the film.

Sia also recently deleted her Twitter account due to the backlash against her movie.

The next thing I want the general public to see is this clip from the opening scene.
