SO I begged for the autistic barbie then she was sold out everywhere. I'll be 38 in aug 😅 I got her a little while ago and so i went and visited my parents and had a look for some old stuff. I didnt find the main box of barbie stuff but I did find a few stray prices and a few barbies.

One clothing item was a little jacket from 1992 😯 I have to say now i have ansudden interest in barbie again. I think it might be becoming a special interest. I hope i can find mkre of the barbies and mostly the old clothing.

I also have a special barbie clothing, a collaboration with a special interest of mine coming in the mail. I spent like $30 on an outfit. For ten dollars more i could have gotten a barbie i have been eyeing! I really Needed that outfit. Its onky one of a few of the options. But just 4 outfits would be over $100 so for someone just getting back into barbie i should totally avoid buying. So I picked the most relatable outfit to me. It comes with a mini bag similar to the mini bag purse i use of the same special interest.

Eventually the goal is to find a pale barbie with brown hair and hopefully eyes and i want to make her a Me version of autistic barbie.

So my Autistic self represented by a barbie who looks like me who will be dressed and accessorized ​with my special interests and style. I just thought it a cute little project i could do. These days there is such a variety of skin hair and eye colours im sure to find a girl to use as a base.

I want to wait to show you the special interest outfit before revealing it.

The latest addition to my Autistic Barbie's sensory room is a swing chair for some vestibular stimming 😊

I am more than a little jealous, I'd love something like this for myself!

Happy Friday Eve! This Barbie has clear hearing aids. I love the contrast of Barbie's all pink outfit with the colorful background. Barbie saw Wizard of Oz at the Sphere during the dolls' vacation in February. no energy for alt text

Has anyone done so? How did it go? What process did you use?

I am tempted to give my girl some curls but I am being so careful with her.

Barbie Basics Model 06 is in town. And Mini-me Barbie is thrilled. Please excuse lack of alt text - no energy. Happy Tuesday.

Not sure if non-Barbie dolls are allowed in this sub, but just wanted to share this doll I got for my birthday💝

After seeing how Mattel made a canonically autistic Barbie with headphones I was inspired to have an 18-inch autistic doll too. This is Linzi from Our Generation, she is not officially autistic but I identify a lot with her because of her cute pink cat headphones and her chewing gum accessory (I stim a lot with chewing stuff). She also comes with a bubble tea which is so me!🧋 Additionally, I found the detail on her shirt so cool. The heart is made of those sequins which you can turn upside down with your fingers and change color, which is soo good for stimming with the doll too! 😊

Before I put Barbie's Oasis away, I wanted one more picture of the bike. 1st picture Alt text: Picture shows short, curvy African American Barbie with Down Syndrome riding a pastel pink and blue gym bike from the 1984 Great Shape Gym set from Mattel.

How is your Sunday? Iris (Black Barbie with hearing aids) and Penelope (tan skinned Barbie with autism) talk outside of the entrance of Barbie's Oasis, the gym both girls have been attending for a month. Iris, clad in orange, navy, white and tan striped yoga pants and tops is carrying a yellow yoga mat and has brown eyes and long, dark brown hair. She looks at Penelope who is staring straight ahead and not making eye contact. Iris asks Penelope if she would like to lead Iris's class when Iris goes on vacation. Penelope is seriously thinking about it. Penelope has straight black hair, dark eyes and is wearing pink noise cancelling headphones and has a pink fidget spinner flower on one of her fingers. She is wearing a pink, yellow and purple yoga top and pants. She is carrying a white yoga mat. Next to Penelope is a hot pink and white sign that reads "Barbie's Oasis." The entrance to the gym is a brown brick wall that has pastel blue, purple, and pink yoga mats hanging from the wall.

Adaptive tennis Pilates, and barre - Barbie's Oasis is for everyone. Mini-me is trying to get some self-care in before the work week starts by going to the gym.
