Almost as offensive as the blind Barbie that I bought earlier this year

And Blind Barbie was only three dollars and change they need to cut the price on this one if they want me to add it to the collection

I feel like this would be played with for maybe 5 min then tossed against a wall only to land behind a couch, never to be seen from again.

"If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism."

The headphones put on this Barbie is a form of an unfair stereotype because autism presents in a wide spectrum. You'll also notice a fidget spinner on the doll's hand. Autism awareness has boiled down to ticking a few bullet points and ridiculing. I hope Mattel stops doing this silly DEI-splaining.

Exactly what I was expecting to see in the comments. The Blind Barbie post, though...

They also sell a Type 1 Diabetes Barbie with Insulin Pump. She's not obese though. And a "Ken" with some hot looking pink shorts.
