If you recall, Mattel released the first Barbie with Down Syndrome in 2023, and the first Barbie with Type 1 Diabetes just last summer.
This was part of their diversity and inclusion campaign they started a few years back.
And now, the first Barbie doll with Autism has been released. The doll includes accessories that some autistic people sport, such as noise-canceling headphones, loose-fitting clothing, and a tablet with Communication apps.
The doll has been in development for more than 18 months in partnership with Autistic Self Advocacy Network, a non-profit disability rights organization that looks to assist the autistic community. Just CLICK HERE/USATODAY.COM to see the doll and read more………
