OREANDA-NEWS  The American company Mattel has released the world's first Barbie doll with autism and has been criticized online. The relevant comments on X (formerly Twitter) drew the attention of the Daily Mail.

The reason for the outrage was the accessories that come with the toy, namely a spinner, noise—canceling headphones and a tablet with applications for alternative communication. In addition, netizens did not appreciate the company's initiative to make the doll's elbows and wrists more mobile. In their opinion, these details point to stereotypical traits associated with autism.
