"Sia addressed the controversy surrounding her directorial feature debut, 'Music,' after the film earned two Golden Globes nominations Tuesday morning, then promptly deleted her Twitter account." https://variety.com/2021/film/news/sia-music-warning-label-apologizes-autism-community-1234900277/
MUSIC in no way condones or recommends the use of restraint on #autistic people. There are autistic occupational therapists that specialize in sensory processing who can be consulted to explain safe ways to provide proprioceptive, deep-pressure feedback to help w meltdown safety.
"I plan to remove the restraint scenes from all future printings. I listened to the wrong people and that is my responsibility, my research was clearly not thorough enough, not wide enough."
"The tweets remained publicly accessible for just over an hour before Sia deactivated her account." https://variety.com/2021/film/news/sia-music-warning-label-apologizes-autism-community-1234900277/
