Sia's Latest Movie Reinforces the Stigmatisation of Autism on Film

This week Sia's latest film 'Music' was released in Australian cinemas - but is it REALLY a 'feel-good' film it makes itself out to be? Or does it promote ableism, inspiration porn and the stigmatisation of people on the autism spectrum? TNWC host Demi Lynch spoke with actress, singer and Autism advocate Chloe Hayden about the MANY problems evident in the film.

They wondered: Can neurotypical people play autistic characters in film and television? What is Autism Speaks and why is it a problematic organisation? And ultimately should people boycott this film?
