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?
This is a very funny thread! I also love this ironic 'autism awareness barbie' Facebook account!

OMG she’s also got 301 followers. Don’t people realise that she has isssues with social interaction!
