sigh. yet another example of Hollywood casting a non-disabled actor to play a disabled character. When doing a film about Autism, hire #ActuallyAutistic folks to work on it. https://twitter.com/Sia/status/1329411673350942723
free idea for @sia’s team to consider: donate a meaningful portion of film’s revenue to @autselfadvocacy and organizations led by #ActuallyAutistic individuals, commit to hire Autistic talent for future projects, and use her platform to educate her peers on the lesson learned.
hi @Sia if you or your team needs help with this situation I know several people and orgs who are experts on disability representation in Hollywood and in the media. You can still embrace this as an opportunity to learn and use your platform for a positive outcome.
