Unlike a traditional Barbie, the new doll has joints at the elbows and wrists. The doll is designed with her gaze directed slightly to the side, which Mattel says reflects how some people with autism avoid direct eye contact.
The Barbie doll also comes with a stress-relieving toy, noise-canceling headphones and a tablet.
"The goal of the launch is to enable more children to see themselves in the iconic doll," Mattel said in a statement.
There has already been a blind Barbie, a Barbie with a hearing aid, a Barbie with Down syndrome and a Barbie with diabetes.
