Ever since the film Music was announced by its director, Sia, the autistic community was outraged because of its portrayal of a nonspeaking autistic girl by a neurotypical actor, Maddie Ziegler. In response to the backlash, Sia cursed at and insulted her critics, later deleting her tweets entirely. However, another controversy has arose, in which leaked scenes from the film showcase the titular character, Music, having a meltdown and being held down by a prone restraint.
According to Disability Rights Center of Kansas, “When restraint is done in a face up (“supine”) or face down (“prone”) position, it restricts breathing and can turn deadly.” The fact that a mainstream film displays such an act can inadvertently cause a caregiver to re-enact it, causing disastrous consequences for the person being restrained.
