Unlike every other commenter’s mentions, I appreciate this doll being inclusive. There’s nothing wrong with being autistic (neurodivergent)!! As nuerodivergent myself with multiple children & grandchildren who are also on the spectrum, I genuinely appreciate this doll. Anyone dismissive of neurodivergence is ignorant & uneducated. Tylenol has nothing to do with it (thank you for nothing, RFK Jr!!) Neurodivergence is a gift!!🎉
Same here
There are several European studies that have determined that Tylenol can cause developmental abnormalities. Have you read the warning label? It literally says, “NOT SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN”. This was common knowledge 20 years ago. My doctor warned me about Tylenol when I was pregnant…
@thetruepatriot7733 that’s BS buddy
This is what the world needed. Right now of all times. Thank you materialism!
Why not just…more inclusive accessories…idk
LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE. Barbie is the worst example of womanhood you could ever expose a girl to. Be a less trash parent and stop marketing to kids.
Even for non-disabled kids, this can ease them into to recognizing things they don’t know. That way they’re less likely to walk up to disabled strangers and ask why they’re different. Parents can explain the disability on the doll rather than their kids running up to a stranger and asking why they’re like that.
