The Sia Autism Controversy: Kate Hudson Responds Feb 27, 2021

Show notes

This take a turn for the “are you kidding me?” When Kate Hudson joins the conversation. So the Sia movie that has gone viral for its controversy surrounding autism and some controversial scenes surrounding it is everywhere. I myself have done lots of discussions and videos on this topic and it is still ongoing. Open till this point there has only been Sia a self who has said anything about the movie and the backlash she is getting, the other actors have this far kept quiet. That is until now as Kate Hudson was asking about the controversy in an interview from an article published in the Independent where she states that she was unaware of any controversy surrounding the, and I quote “beautiful movie”. My thoughts on this and Kates inability to face facts and talk about it honestly is quite worrying, as Kate should have just been honest and said how she felt. Saying that she had not seen any controversy around it is a very outlandish lie since people like good morning America and CNN have covered this story, and she is in the movie.

TOP 5 ASD Symptoms (YOU Should Know)

Is Disney Loop AUTISM FILM Any GOOD? Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

This is my honest review of the Disney loop autism film, and if it is any good! So this film is a short film as part of the Disney shorts on the Disney+ app that they released in 2019. The movie is a representation of a young boy and a young girl who is a non-verbal autistic girl out on a canoe on a lake. The story unfolds that the young girl in question Renée is in the canoe on her own and this young boy who is also needing to get out on the water in a canoe is late and has to take the canoe with Renée. He is aware Renée does not talk as she is a non-verbal autistic girl. This however blossoms into a very interesting and short affinity relationship. The film shows autism in a very interesting light, sharing stimming, sharing repetitive listening and non-verbal communication. The young boy has to learn very quickly how to communicate the needs of Renée in order to understand what’s going on. They do however come across a situation and she loses her cell phone which was her comfort stim and he has to avoid a meltdown. The music the style and the design and also the story of this film is absolutely beautiful and I think it is a great representation of a small window into the life of autistic individuals. Thing I love most about it is that this is about an autistic girl autistic female and it’s not often we see autism in girls represented in the media. Let me know if you’ve seen it and what your thoughts are in a comment down below.

SIA Movie AUTISM Admitting She Was Wrong! (MY Thoughts) Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

So Sia has said sorry to the Autism community and also deleted her Twitter account after a series of unbelievable events. The Australian singer has become and a fire because of a movie called music that she had released featuring Maddie Ziegler as the main character in this movie the only caveat is the main character is an autistic girl. I did a video all about how not using an autistic person to play the artistic character was a bad move and also the way in which Sia went about researching and understanding autism for the movie was not acceptable and was really bad. In the video explain how Sia went off on people on her Twitter account calling people names and shutting people down who are just asking simple and justified questions about the process in which she was creating this movie. Needless to say there are some disturbing scenes in the movie and she has responded about the scenes and deleted a Twitter account because of the backlash she was getting from the community. At the very least she has apologised to the Autism community but I think there needs to be more done than that.

I was talking with my girlfriend about this, and I feel i have friends that I can talk to over what’s app and FaceTime / zoom but, I don’t have a closeness with them to discuss things of personal matters. Then we realised I don’t have a friend In my life that I can talk to about things like this. But is it because I am asking too much of a friend? Or is it that I am not opening up enough to friends, and that in fact my friends would listen.
