Are you in the spectrum? I don’t think “we” get to say it is wrong or right. 

 

I can say whatever I want. I’m not being disrespectful. I don’t need to be X or Y to talk about it. 

[OMF 3,483]

Not sure. SIA has a great heart and has donated money and effort many times.

Not all autism is the same though. There are some people with aspergers for example who would be able to cope with it and there are people on the spectrum who have made it as an actor. 

I don't get it. When it comes to disability. Should a blind roll only go to people who wear glasses instead of a person that has 20/20.  The autism spectrum is literally that diverse.

you do need to be x or y. because you're not the offended party. a straight person cannot be directly offended by homophobia, because it was not their issue to get offended over. by saying "she did nothing wrong... i can say what i want" you're excusing her of something that YOU had no right to be offended over. you are the irrelevant party here. you are not autistic and you are not sia, so it is not your business.

Thank you!!! That was exactly my point. Is not our place to say that is right our wrong. All we can do is support autistic talent and activist

Rain Man is a great movie about an autistic savant. It won 4 academy awards, including 1 for Dustin Hoffman as best actor in a leading role. He acted the part of autistic savant.  He is not autistic.  He is an actor. It's his job to play a character with scripted dialogue, on carefully prepared sets, and in costume. Movies are not to be mistaken for reality tv.

Next thing you know, serial killers are going to be angry that they don't get cast to play themselves in crime dramas.

Sia is a good person. Period. 

[ItWasntLaauv 6,392]

She maybe just should’ve not responded to anything tbh. Everyone’s always gonna have an opinion about anything no matter what. It’s similar vibes to people attacking people for not casting an actual gay person to play a gay person. Like I understand it, but it’s also like... really?

32 years ago. Representation matters. The fact that you are comparing being autistic to being a serial killer is nuts. 
is about opportunity, gay actors, actors or color , actors with disabilities have been marginalized for years. Please read more about visibility before making uneducated comments.

Also is Sia pretending that Maddie hasn’t starred in most videos/projects of hers since Chandelier?  were there even auditions for that role

Perhaps you should be more kind than to call me "nuts" for having a viewpoint that differs from yours.  That was a rude personal attack. Acting is a job with specific requirements pertaining to each role. None of us has seen any audition tapes, so who is to say who performed the character more convincingly.  I was going to compare it to  superman, but no-one can actually fire lazers from their eyes and fly because that is special effects. 

Also, I should point out that I was not making the comparison between autism and serial killers. That was not intended.  I was comparing the qualifications for an acting job, comparing between this movie and crime dramas, in terms of who would be most qualified to act in a crime drama.
