Sia s new movie Music has outraged the autism community, for both the casting of a neurotypical actress in the role of an autistic character as well as for showing scenes where the character is being restrained. And the criticisms don t end there.
In the film (now streaming), Music (played by Maddie Ziegler) is a young autistic woman who falls under the care of her half-sister Zu (Kate Hudson) after her grandmother dies (Mary Kay Place). Zu learns all about Music s daily routine with the help of Music s neighbor Ebo (Leslie Odom Jr.) – and the movie becomes more problematic from there, according to advocates.
