Lakeside teacher Nora Boyle brought her new Autistic Barbie to school, and her colleague Michelle Thoennes (pictured) just happened to be wearing a matching dress!
The doll was designed in partnership with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to represent and celebrate the autistic community. Barbie is wearing a sensory friendly dress, and she also has a fidget spinner and an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tablet!
