#Sia #Music #1+1

[lizzieanders]

Imagine putting this in a movie meant to be a “love letter” to autistic people. As an autistic person I couldn’t watch this. I got over stimulated so quickly I began to panic. The music is fine but the video is horrific. Yes, neurotypical people may love this, but for those on the spectrum... this is a literal nightmare. I’m not sure how three years of research led you to this. Fully disappointed.

Edit: I’m not saying that everyone on the spectrum is like me and cannot handle the movie, but there are more than enough who cannot. I’m sorry if it seemed this way in my original post.
Also look at the many comments on the Together music video of others opinions who are on the spectrum.

[SS_DT]

Everything about this movie is unacceptable, but I’m really glad people aren’t blaming Maddie. I have no idea how she could say no to Sia at this point... which is a pretty unhealthy and scary thing to deal with at her age and stage of career.

[kaylinalaska]

This movie is meant to be for autism awareness but I couldn't watch all of it because it was too overstimulating. Also it is very offensive.

[funnymangetazed]

Those dancing teletubbies in the backround make me feel a negative emotion I can't describe

[rim]

I'm surprised the comments aren't disabled

[verzrc]

I'm autistic and wanted to see what the music videos from this movie are like and I couldn't even get through this. the combination of clashing bright colours and the sporadic nature of the dancing made me so panicked after about 20 seconds, I feel so sorry for anyone else who has more severe sensitivity watching this

[DragonPhlegm]

Never seen a singer set fire to their career and reputation as fast as Sia.

[juanitaauelua]

I have a son with mild autism. And ADHD he's 17 nothing like how Maddie's character portrays he talks and can think for himself he also can do alot of things when he puts his mind to it and when he's focused and in a good mood Maddie is acting in this movie

[the_glitter_is]

many opportunities to stop and ask yourself, "Is this a good idea?"

[MollyWat]

As a person with ASD, I can confirm that we all have psychedelic visions of people prancing around in Teletubbies costumes

[veenamasram]

Ariana grande : 34+35
Sia : 1+1

Math is getting popular

[lollipopcorndog]

Even though I’m autistic, I’m not offended by the movie in any way. I think it was a sweet movie and I just love musicals so I found the dance numbers pretty good. This is my favorite part because pink is such a flamboyant and beautiful color IMO.

[saraghhh]

I enjoy Sia’s music and her childlike joy and expression that she typically incorporates in her stuff. But in this context comes across as super offensive and kinda like you’re assuming autistic people are all children who love bright shiny colours and overstimulation. Would love to know where the research started and stopped in this process, cuz it sure seems like she ignored some key points in favour of her own aesthetic.

[marthagutierrez]

Why does it look like they're wearing diapers?..it just too much smh

[فان-خس]

My ears: great song

My eyes:WTF is going on

[ColetteLeCouteur]

Its so frustrating tbh because I actually really like the songs from Music and enjoy the aesthetic of the musical sequences, but 100% agree with the criticism! The worst thing is that it could have been a relatively easy fix: Remove the restraint, scenes, cast an actor who has lived experience of ASD in the role of Music but keep Maddie to perform the dance sequences if necessary (so as not to cause potential sensory overload), can easily interpret the change in actress as Music imagining an idealised version of herself perhaps - or better still, make the music videos as a separate but related project with the same narrative, that way anybody who will find the bright colours hard to watch can choose to skip them. I'm not autistic myself so I may be way off here but I think this addresses the main issues that made the movie problematic.

[nettaphoenix]

I am on the spectrum and I watch this video clip about 10 times a day since it was released, along with "together". People on the spectrum are overstimulated by different things. Think about all the people on the spectrum that come to life when they're playing video games. I find video games over-stimulating and stressful. Man, I find supermarkets over-stimulating and stressful, but songs, especially with music videos like the one above, bring me to life.

[vivalanina]

I think one of the most problematic things about this movie is that it’s very first scene (the orange scene) is not only stereotyping in a way that ablist people bully those on the spectrum but contains triggering flashing lights/colors that can trigger episodes to those on the spectrum. The movie literally gate keeps the very people it’s supposedly aiming to “represent”.

[lejla.t]

Not Sia single handedly ending her, maddie ziegler, and kate hudson's career-

Btw I don't blame Maddie at all I know she didn't want to

[flowerpower]

The way that these videos are actually pretty good. Like I find them rythmic and hypnotising and I (an autistic person) really like that. I completely understand other autistic people who find them overstimulating of course, everyone has a different experience. But honesty if Sia had just released an album, not instructed poor Maddie to do a Simple Jack impression, presented the whole thing as a visual representation of her own neurodivergence (kind of in the vein of David Byrne's True Stories) and, you know, not made a whole shitty, dangerous film.

This could've been really nice...
