The Barbie Debate
Episode notes
We’re kicking off Season 3 with a conversation that’s been everywhere lately...the release of the Autism Barbie. From toys to TV shows to movies, representation of disability is finally becoming more visible… but is it meaningful? And who is it really for?
In this episode, we share our honest reactions to seeing autism represented in a mainstream toy, what it brings up for us as parents, and how representation (or the lack of it) has shaped our kids’ experiences. We talk about the wins, the misses, and the complicated feelings that come with watching the world try to include our children.
We would love to connect with you more! Check out our socials, we would love to hear from you.
