Barbie is launching its first autistic doll, developed with the autism community and designed to reflect sensory and communication differences, Axios' Kelly Tyko writes.

  • The new Barbie went on sale yesterday with a suggested retail price of $11.87. It's for sale at Target, Walmart and Amazon.

The company said the doll's design features include a slightly averted eye gaze and accessories like a fidget spinner and noise-canceling headphones.
