Not explicitly, no, but one of the main characters has a tough and traumatic relationship with a parent.

Yes, the main antagonist off screen is verbally abused by his "mother" and, though not explicitly, acts out against other people because of it.

No eye mutilation at all, there is a corpse that doesn’t have eyes but it is not graphic by any means, it really just looks like a skull with a wig.

Yes, as the main antagonist dresses in his mothers clothing and acts like her. I don't know if this counts fully as body dysphoria.

Not flashing per se. Nothing to the extent of quick rapid flashing however there are some night driving scenes where the car lights are very bright and move quickly as they pan from the road to the character in the car. Especially in a scene driving at night.

The very name of the film is ableist (although it might not have been problematic at the time) and some of the psychology discussed at the end would probably be considered ableist today.

No, there are no incestuous relationships implied or otherwise in the film. The main antagonist has a strange relationship with his mother but it is not incestuous.
[SPOILERS]
The main antagonist plays his own mother (mentally ill) therefore there is no actual family to be incestuous.

No but a car is pushed into a lake, and at the end of the film we see the car being towed out covered in mud which could be triggering imagery for someone who is bothered by car crashes.

A naked woman is stabbed to death in a shower; no gore, but blood visibly goes down the drain. In the uncut version you see the killer with bloody hands before he cleans them off. A man is slashed across the face.
