Stigma and Micro-Aggression in Amadeus

“I killed Mozart” This is the line that sets the film Amadeus in motion that makes us think Salieri killed Mozart; but what if Salieri was really a witness and a bystander of Mozart’s real killer, a culture of stigma and micro-aggression towards people with autism.

You are not the only one.

You are not the only one. Music Education has become more like the self-help and wellness industry when it should be educating and accommodating all people into a Music Education circle that is inclusive and cares about well being.

They are still systemic monsters that have to be fought back and ended once and for all.
