The torture is mostly off-screen and implied; the scene in which you can see anything is very dark and only lasts a few seconds.

While autism is usually not a physical disability, Ben Affleck, who plays the main character, who is autistic, has never come out saying that he is autistic. In an interview, he said that the movie gave him the opportunity to discuss autism with his kids, and he says that a callmate of theirs is autistic. One might assume that Affleck is not autistic or else he would've used himself as an example

Up to debate. I, personally, recon that the movie got a lot of stuff right, but not everything. Also the representation can feel very stereotypical.

The main character is autistic and the protag in an action movie. Does not kill "because" of his autism.

Autism-specific child abuse is a key feature throughout the movie, including emotional/psychological abuse, verbal and physical abuse. Once the child grows up, the autistic adult also experiences forced sensory overload through flashing lights and loud music.

No, but a death is made to look like a suicide. Others who believe it WAS a suicide also discuss the "suicide" afterwards.
