No one says anything to Kevin when they leave, but that is because they don't realize they are leaving without him.

I live with an arachnophobe who loves this movie. Below are the notes that keep her from seeing the tarantula:
Timestamps are as close as possible but may vary between media formats or services. Audio/visual cues err on the side of caution.
1. 4m55s: Cue: Kevin jumps up and down yelling "I'm living alone!" End time approx: 5m42s all clear at "check it out, old man marley"
2. 19m47s: Cue - "Mom? Dad? Where are you guys?" when Kevin is in his parent's room. End time 19m56s. All clear - "Uncle Frank, is this a joke?"
3. 36m35s: Cue - Right after the first aftershave face slap, Kevin goes into Buzz's room. End time 37m21s when Kevin goes outside. slightly delayed all clear - "I thought the murphys went to Florida"
4. 51m56s: Cue - Kevin lip-syncing "White Christmas," another aftershave scream, quick shot of T under toilet. end time 52m2s when Kevin is in the grocery store. Audio all clear - the long scream ends completely.
5. 1h14m16s: Cue - Kevin pours water down the FRONT steps, end time 1h14m22s when K puts the hot burner on the door handle. No real audio cue here.
6. 1h15m: Cue - After placing ornaments on the floor under window. end time 1h15m10s when xmas tree lights up. Audio all clear - microwave dings.
7. 1h25m30s: After Kevin calls police he runs to the attic steps. The T comes and goes on screen for the next minute or so. End time 1h26m41s "where is it? Where is it?"
The rest is tarantula-free! Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

Kevin also mentions that he has a friend who got beaten up for wearing dinosaur pajamas, and that he thinks he would get beaten up at school if he wore a certain sweater.

No one intentionally self harms but the burglars know the kid is hurting them and they don’t take any precautions against it for most of the movie. They chose to not look around (like at the floor to easily see the broken Christmas ornaments) so it could be perceived as self harm.

not really, but the way kevin is mistreated and the things he's mistreated for is very relatable as an autistic (being "picky," having difficulties doing things like packing for a trip, being "annoying" and "difficult" etc.) the way he reacts to his mistreatment is also very relatable

A van driver is pulling out of a driveway. A little boy is walking down the sidewalk. The van almost hits the boy but stops just in time.
