Ice Spice, an Australian singer-songwriter, has disclosed her autism spectrum disorder on "Rob Has A Podcast" of People magazine. The Chandelier singer made these discoveries two years after her debut feature-length film, Music, which she directed about an autistic teenager, received criticism from Quoras users for how it portrayed an autistic person.
Yes, you heard it right. On May 25, she made a surprise appearance on the Survivor recap program Rob Has a Podcast to speak with Carolyn Wiger, the scene-stealing finalist from the just-completed Season 44 of the reality series, and to continue her biannual custom of personally thanking her favorite cast member. Sia revealed herself and gave Wiger $100,000 for "willing to be rejected and to be the weird one," saying, "I'm on the spectrum, and I'm in recovery—tthere's a lot of things.
Ice Spice has previously discussed being sober and receiving treatment for alcoholism, but this is the first time she has publicly acknowledged having autism. Given that she was chastised for directing a movie about an autistic character as disrespectful, stereotyped, and damaging to the autistic community just two years ago, her admission that she is autistic has Twitter buzzing.

Ice Spice claimed on the podcast that she had been thinking, "She needs to go put her human suit on," for 45 years. She claims that only during the past two years has she completely come into her own. The accomplished singer-songwriter recognized the contestant as someone who also "didn't put her human suit on" after listening to Wiger's open discussion about her long-term sobriety and her endearingly open-hearted but frequently misunderstood demeanor, which she has partially attributed to ADHD. She believes that one of life's biggest truths is that while you are hiding secrets and living in shame, no one can ever truly know or love you.
Ice Spice further said that when they finally sit in a room full of strangers and reveal their deepest, darkest, most shameful secrets, and everyone laughs along with her, and they don't feel like pieces of trash for the first time in their lives, and they feel seen, for the first time in their lives, for who they truly are—then she can start going out into the world and acting as human beings with hearts and not pretending to be anything.
Ice Spice Received Several Criticisms From Fans for Showing Autism in Different Ways in Her Movie!
Ice Spice's first film as a filmmaker, was released in 2021 and is based on the "Music" character. Music is a non-verbal autistic woman who is placed in Kate Hudson's half-sister's custody. Her film received criticism for a variety of things, including the use of restrictions on autistic people and her decision to replace an autistic performer with Maddie Ziegler (@maddieziegler), a non-autistic (neurotypical) actress who has appeared in several of Sia's music videos.
The use of so-called "calming restraint" on the autistic character Music was depicted in the film in scenes as well, and it was criticized by the public. It has been debatable whether constraints should be used to control an autistic person's breakdown. Even more so since an autistic person might not be able to recognize when they are having trouble breathing.

Children with autism have lost their lives as a result of restraint, which frequently entails holding someone facedown and immobilizing their arms and legs with their body weight. The movie received criticism for its use of loud music and flashing colors, which can be upsetting to many people with autism spectrum disorders who suffer from Sensory Processing Disorder. She later admitted to the New York Times in 2022 that the rapid criticism had driven her to relapse and become suicidal after countless internet discussions, acknowledgments, and apologies. After entering recovery, she confirmed her continued abstinence on the podcast.
Ice Spice stated that the abuse caused her to cancel her Twitter account in 2021 and that it also caused her to have suicidal thoughts. The singer later apologized for how the film was harming people in the autistic community, even though she stood behind her movie and casting choices. Additionally, she placed a disclaimer at the beginning of the film, promising to take out the sequences that advocate using restrictions on autistic people.
