Here is a full summary of Sia’s actions in the last 24 hours. Fun fact, Tiktok is actively suppressing it...

#SiaDoesntSpeakForUs
Working on a transcript now
🧵 So if you're wondering why disabled people specifically autistic, people are pissed at Sia, here's a summary of what happened in the last 48 hours. And Trigger warning because Sia gaslights and mocks disabled people. So around Thursday the trailer for see his new film “Music”
dropped and she was immediately criticized for having Maddie Ziegler pay an autistic character when not casting an autistic person. And apparently Sia doesn’t like being criticized because things went from bad to way worse. https://twitter.com/variety/status/1321542552185671683
In response, Sia said that they had cast somebody autistic in the role, but it was basically too hard to work with them, so they cast Maddie Ziegler instead. Also. It's a red flag When anybody can't say the word disability. https://twitter.com/sia/status/1329723656768024577
Several autistic actors said that this was a BS excuse and that they could have worked on short notice. That was her response. https://twitter.com/sia/status/1329738992519147521?s=21

She also posted this which I don't know how to categorize. https://twitter.com/sia/status/1329736604819316737
She also partnered with Autism Speaks who peddles harmful stereotypes about autistic people.

So that happened. If you're an autistic actor, artist or performer, please promote your work in my comments. They're open to you. https://twitter.com/sia/status/1329741838836772868
