Hudson added that she believes it's an important conversation to have. Much of the controversy surrounds Sia's casting of her favorite young star, Maddie Ziegler, in the role of a nonverbal autistic woman. Many believe the role shouldn't have gone to a neurotypical actress. 'For me, when I hear that there’s anybody that feels left out I feel terrible.' Hudson said 'Nobody has really asked me that,' Hudson said when asked about the controversy surrounding neurotypical actress Maddie Ziegler playing an autistic person 'Nobody has really asked me that,' Hudson said about the controversy. 'I've only been asked to sort of comment in a quote, and it’s not a soundbite conversation. I think it’s an ongoing, important dialogue to be had about neurotypical actors playing neurodivergent characters.'
