    ableist.

    I cant believe sia even released this. horrible depictions of people on the spectrum. i'm disgusted. i wish i could rate this movie even lower.

    this is harmful and an absolute disgrace

    As an autistic woman, all I can say is that yhis movie by no means represents us as a community. The portrayal of autism is so inaccurate and insulting and I'm genuinely scared that people will think this is realistic. This is mocking us and not only that but the restraint scene makes me sick! So many autistic children have died from being restrained like that. This is not ok and never should have been made especially not with a neurotypical actress

    BEYOND OFFENSIVE...A DISGUSTING MOCKERY AT BEST

    As someone who struggles DAILY with mental illness and it social struggles, I have NEVER been hit on such a level. I find humor about my disease and similar ones, to be one of the most uplifting things in the world.

    This isn't anything close. This is a worthless excuse for a human being making a complete joke of the disease. This is a pathetic example of "artists" PROFITING OFF OF OTHERS!!

    This film should be burnt at the stake next to the witches who thought it to be acceptable film material......

    One of the worst films ever

    1 out of 5 stars.

    Horrible film. Plot is bad. Acting is stale. Sia direction with an autistic person behavior is very misguided. Horrible film in general.

    It gave me a headache!

    Simply put.. What a mess,from A to Z!

    Avoid it & watch something truly creative,with a decent storyline & so forth.

    Going to go take an aspirin & recover,ugh!
