It's not just about Sia not hiring an autistic actor

It about her having a history of manipulating Maggie. About lying about not knowing about the shittiness of Autism Speaks, the group she worked with. About shutting down the actual autistic people who spoke to her when they- https://twitter.com/dilladontdodat/status/1341619071415042048
-try to politely tell her that there are issues with her portrayal.

It's so much more beyond casting

Anyway, for context on Maggie, she BEGGED sia not to have her star in it yet she refused
*Maddie

Ugh sorry. Waiting in the hospital lobby with an annoying movie on sucks
God I wish I had bookmarked that thread

If anyone can link that audio clip of Ziegler, please do ya
Man why is it ONLY the non autistic people defending sia 🙃 y'all don't decide what's disrespectful to us
No audio clip so far but here's sia unnecessarily being a jerk https://twitter.com/Aoife_Dooley/status/1330157042993164288?s=19
This one goes a lot more in depth about why her casting and "research" methods are terrible and, uh, kinda unethical https://twitter.com/autistictic/status/1340211239583150081?s=19
I FOUND IT

I FOUND THE THREAD THAT SAID MADDIE REFUSED TO DO THIS https://twitter.com/rollwthepunches/status/1330028493485301761?s=19
https://twitter.com/rollwthepunches/status/1330017709749374976?s=19
So yeah with the tweet above it's. Very likely Sia lied about genuinely wanting to try and cast an autistic person
@dilladontdodat Anyway I hope that from reading the linked thread above you can realise that this is beyond casting issues. Sia has been unnecessarily aggressive to-
-people who ARE autistic who are telling her that she's done something terrible

Also like…leave this discussion to autistic people. I sincerely beg you. I don't think you've mentioned anywhere that you're on the spectrum so don't talk like you know our experiences
