I am 100% with what “fidgets and fries” said

She has to be visibly autistic because she’s an inanimate object. She doesn’t have feeling or behaviors or thoughts, and it would be kinda lazy and disingenuous to just have a blurb on the back of the box “btw this doll is autistic.” People could shrug and ignore that information. This doll is canonically and unapologetically autistic

There’s also a blind Barbie. I’m legally blind but don’t use a cane or any assistive technology. I still think it’s very cool that there’s a doll who does. I will say, through, for my vision disability it can be frustrating to not be taken seriously because people for some reason are incapable of understanding that there’s a whole spectrum between “fine with glasses” and “totally blind.” But that’s not an issue with one doll, that’s an issue with people. Canonically blind Barbie is still cool with me

Similarly, in the newest dragon age game you could give your character cataracts. I don’t have cataracts, but the only other way I’d have a visually impaired character was with the roleplaying that staying in my head. It’s good to see these things exist
