just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.
for those of you who don’t know, music (2021) is a movie being directed by sia about a nonverable autistic girl. not only does it not include any actually autistic people in the movie itself but it also only took advice from autism speaks which is looked at as a hate group by the majority of the autistic community. leaked scenes have also shown the movie glorifying prone restraints which are incredibly dangerous and have resulted in major injuries and even death to disabled people as recently as last year.
autistic people just like me have been incredibly outspoken about how harmful this movie is but the allistic have been mostly silent. we are already seeing reviews calling this movie ‘inspiring’ and important’ and it’s absolutely horrific! we need your help calling this out. please stand with us and call out this disgusting display of disrespect to autistic folks.

p.s. please, please reblog if you aren’t autistic.
sia wasn’t even just silent, when autistic actors pointed out that she hadn’t even tried to contact anyone with autism to be in her film, sia’s response was “well maybe you’re just not a good enough actor.” when she was challenged about making this film, she assured us that she had “done her research” by WATCHING HOURS OF MELTDOWN VIDEOS.
Please don’t watch Music, it’s exploitative, deliberately excluded autistic people from our own narrative and inspires nothing in us but pain and anger.
