The first-ever autistic Barbie

The autism infinity symbol represents the infinite diversity, potential, and acceptance within the autism spectrum.

See Mattel's announcement here

CNN's autistic Barbie cover story features a mother and daughter (Precious Hill and Mikko) with whom Mattel has partnered, who are both on the spectrum. See Ms. Hill's Instagram announcement of this partnership here

Barbie Fashionista #245 can be purchased on Amazon and Walmart. Other retailers, both online and locally, will have it soon.

  1. Thank you for posting the links. I found a very rude comment on Amazon that I just reported. I think she's an excellent idea and it looks like they tried to get as many options as they could. It's nice they picked a neutral pallet of colors for her as well. She's not white and blond/blue eyed. She's dark enough to be several nationalities and light enough to be white as well. Not sure that made sense, so hopefully you know what I mean. lol

    1. You're welcome. I'm glad you reported the rude comment to Amazon. Tomorrow's post will be about her, too.
