Barbie launches autistic doll to represent neurodivergent children
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
The first ever autistic Barbie doll to represent neurodivergent children has been launched by the toy giant Mattel.
The Barbie features accessories like a fidget spinner, noise-cancelling headphones, and a communication tablet, but is this a positive move by the toy mogul or too generalised of a representation of autism?
Joining Ciara to discuss is actor Brian Mulvey and Adam Harris, CEO and Founder of AsIAm.
