It was really hard watching how coach E was treating the children and how she was trying to impose neurotypical behaviours on them, like when she was forcing this kid to look her in the eyes, when he was clearly uncomfortable doing so, or trying to force the kids to communicate with each other the neurotypical way. People in the documentary seemed to aknowledge the sensory sensitivity of autistic people, but throughout the film the kids were often overwhelmed by the strong light and sounds. It really felt like their needs and emotions were not respected.
