The toy features elbow and wrist articulation, which allows for stimming and other gestures. Her eyes are shifted to the side to avoid eye contact. She carries a fidget spinner and a tablet. She also wears noise-canceling headphones and a loose-fitting dress that allows for less fabric-to-skin contact.

While this is stupid, there are much worse things they could have released.

Is it legal to have sex with an autistic person?

This seems stupid to most of us jaded assholes, but I'm sure this will really mean a lot to some little girls with autism. Which is all that really matters here.

The OT is gonna rag on this but working with teens with a stage of ASD that utilize tablets, headphones, etc this is pretty cool for those girls.

This is the second autistic Barbie they have launched in 48 hours, pretty impressive.

From the article....... So Barbie is "woke" now? I thought most here were against that?

This is kind of fricked up. I have two autistic nephews and have been involved in Sped sports. These kids don't have a look.

Inclusion has a distinct definition beyond inferred angry political application.

In this case, it allows autistic children to connect.

Come on.
