The protagonist does hyperventilate a bit when distressed, but this never goes farther than breathing somewhat hard. Use your discretion.

While not a psych ward, several scenes in the film take place at a group home designated for those with mental illness. There are glimpses of residents at the home showcasing their various conditions, however none are frightening or degrading.

We see what is probably ABA therapy, and at one point the protagonist needs to be restrained to protect them from hurting themselves.

The protagonist, who is autistic, is treated with varying levels of compassion throughout the film and is taken advantage of or treated poorly on a number of occasions. Seeing her as an easy target, a woman pretends to be her friend and offers her a ride, but then steals her billfold and MP3 player and leaves without her. When she then attempts to purchase food at a convenience store, she asks the clerk how much the bags of candy bars are. He tells her their cost by the each and, not understanding, she multiplies this number by the number of candy bars in each bag, coming out with an outrageous sum. The clerk slyly tells her that her math is correct and is ready to accept the rest of her money in loose change until another customer comes to her defense. A few other blue collar workers seem to size her up before speaking rudely to her and brushing her off. Near the end of the film, she is approached by a pair of police officers who have been keeping an eye out for her (as a missing person). In spite of the fact that she is not suspected of any crime and is known to be autistic, one of the officers yells at her and begins to give chase when she runs away. When they track her down to an alley, the officer again begins to aggressively advance on her as if to arrest her, but her partner stops her. Use your discretion.

A bus crash is implied but never shown, leading to the main character waking up in the hospital. No violence is shown, and the injuries she sustains aren't visible.
