One of the adolescents in the film is eventually institutionalized at a boarding school for Autistic youth with "behavior problems." I assume the program is rooted in abusive Applied Behavior Analaysis (ABA) principles because basically all of those institutions are. Many of the nonspeaking/minimally speaking Autistic people in the film do not appear to have been provided with an effective AAC method.

Filmmaker uses sound effects to communicate the concept of Autistic sensory sensitivities to a neurotypical audience. I had to wear my Calmer ear plugs and stim throughout the film simply to tolerate it.
