2021	Sia's film "Music" was heavily criticized by autistic people and autism advocates for casting a non-autistic actor as an autistic character and for showing the character being restrained face-down during a meltdown. Sia initially responded defensively to the criticism, but later apologized and said she had not researched the subject widely enough. She also said the restraint scenes would be removed from future versions.	Source
