Autistic Barbie....anyone?

.

NEW BARBIE RANGE INCLUDES DOLLS THAT USE WHEELCHAIRS AND HAVE PROSTHETIC LIMBS

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/barbie-inclusive-disability-wheelchair-prosthetic-limbs-mattel-fashionista-a8774951.html

Interesting idea?  Would a hidden disability // autistic Barbie be an option? Also, being made of some different types of plastic and vinyl  - a meltdown could be even more of a hazard?

As an autistic woman (self-diagnosed.. first assessment in less than 4 weeks) she also decide to be spending less of her time keeping her hair that blond, or obsessed with fashion and make up.  Her relationship with Ken may also look very different from an ND perspective?

Thoughts?

    Barbie with the infinity sign on a shirt or dress Dress:)  this is my Barbie collection. Since my childhood Barbie was my friend. I loved touching her hair, examining its structure, observing how her body was made (the connection line on her hands legs and torso) and I could sit hours like that with her. Most beautiful thing - she didn’t speak. I make clothes for my Barbies because it makes me happy. All of them are as autistic as me.
