* SpiritualAntithesis: Arguably to Sia's infamous film ''{{Film/Music 2021}}''. Both are stories about a neurotypical person learning AnAesop about autism; ''Music'' uses InspirationallyDisabled, while this shows how the disabled can be discriminated against by misinformed people. Both have a neurotypical actor playing the autistic character; ''Music'''s resembles a caricature, ''No One Is Perfect'' has a subtler portrayal. Both got released in 2021, though had been in production for years beforehand.

Added DiffLines:

* AccidentalAesop: A lot of people in various industries can be misinformed about disabilities, and assume DisabledMeansHelpless. In that event, it can be the prerogative of the disabled person to educate on their access requirements, even if it may feel tiresome.


Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: Gabrielle learns of [[spoiler: Albert's death]] and reads Jenna the riot act for it when she learns of the circumstances that led to it. The actress playing Gabrielle, Heather Skinner, would pass away from cancer in 2022.

* TheWoobie: Albert appears to still be grieving for his deceased parents, and is under huge pressure to get a job so he can pay his rent. [[spoiler: After Jenna rejects him, he's evicted and dies on the street]].

* HardTruthAesop: A lot of the time, being open about your disability can count against you in a job interview. Especially if the one doing the interviewing is uninformed about the disability.



* JerkassWoobie: Jenna may be a strict boss and have questionable beliefs, but it's impossible not to feel sorry for her when [[spoiler: her entire team is laid off, she loses her job and experiences fears that she might not be able to pay off her mortgage]].

** That same year, Petra Callanan had a small role in ''Undefeated'', in which her character lectures a bunch of people on discrimination (although in this case homophobia).

Added DiffLines:

* {{Anvilicious}}: The film is very heavy-handed with its messages about autism and acceptance. At one point, Gabrielle's lecture to Jenna is practically to the audience.
* GeniusBonus: One of Jenna's potential clients draws a comparison between left handedness and disability. Those savvy on their history will know that being left handed was historically stigmatized, and many left-handed children had their hands repeatedly slapped until they wrote with their right instead.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The week after this was filmed, Jordan [=McGuinness=] and Bobby Calloway starred together in the short ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VylQgOa-xsM Takbir]]''. In both films, Jordan is one of the leads and Bobby has three lines, and [[spoiler: Jordan dies and Bobby survives]].
** That same year, Petra Callanan had a small role in ''Undefeated'', in which her character lectures a bunch of people on discrimination (although in this case homophobia).
** Aidan O'Sullivan and Bobby Calloway starred in ''Spears'' around the same time they were filming this too. And previously, Aidan had starred with Jordan [=McGuinness=] in ''Linenhall Parade''.

* OneSceneWonder: Infamous Irish character actor Aidan O'Sullivan appearing in one scene as Jenna's superior.
* SpiritualAntithesis: Arguably to Sia's infamous film ''{{Film/Music 2021}}''.
