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?

    They do special Barbies every now & then - about 15 years ago they produced Evening Star Princess Barbie that was widely accepted as Barbie with Albinism due to the bright white hair, extremely pale skin and blue eyes.

    Yes - ex-Barbie collector.....
