⚡️🪆 NEW - Mattel has introduced the first-ever autistic Barbie doll, which features flexible joints for "hand flapping."
The company said the project took them over 18 months to complete.
"The Barbie comes with a fidget spinner, noise-canceling headphones, flat shoes, a flowy skirt for less fabric to skin contact, and a communication tablet to reflect various autistic experiences," reported ABC 7.
