Barbie Expands Its World With New Dolls Representing People With Autism

A few years after introducing the first Barbie doll with Down syndrome, the Fashionista line now includes dolls designed to represent how autistic people experience and interact with the world. Created with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), these dolls have unique features – including new facial and body structures, accessories, and clothing made from comfortable, sensory-friendly materials.
