Sorry I am confusing her age when it came out and what age she was when it was filmed. Still at 15 you should know that playing a disabled character in the way she did was wrong?!No she wasn’t. She was 14/15 when it was filmed.
The person to blame here is Sia, at least Maddie had matured enough to see it wasn’t appropriate.
I’m autistic myself and don’t really appreciate being called “profoundly disabled” either. But I agree that the film took the piss.
Lol I’m autistic too but she was playing a profoundly disabled autistic girl in the film - as you know autism is a spectrum. Not everyone with autism is profoundly disabled ofc - never said that
