And, just for the record, Yes, I have seen that movie, and it wound up being even worse than I could have imagined. And, if true, I guess this makes exactly two autistic people I've been able to find (the other being IA) who thinks Music was a good representation of autism. And, yes, the problems are FAR deeper than casting a neurotypical actress to play an autistic character (which I think can at least work if the performer does their research and tries to get it just right.)
