    5. Ano umay dyan. Maganda nga yan may awareness na kulang kulang lalo na dito sa atin.

    6. Representation matters. Naalala ko yung diabetic Barbie and good idea kasi Barbie is a doll that represents beauty standards and kids should feel beautiful para sa confidence sa sarili

    7. Legit question lang po ha, paano kung ang gusto ng bata ay yung isang Barbie hindi ba mas nakakaoffend na maisip nila na bakit merong bukod na model para sa kanila? Parang mas idinidiin pa na iba sila kesa sa normal children?

    8. No one is saying that this is the only Barbie that they can choose. But wouldnt it feel cool to be a kid and see that “hey, this barbie looks just like me or has the same things that I have”?

      It is no different from say choosing a stuffed dog and then favoring one because it looks or reminds you so much of your own dog.

      Mattel is just creating a doll that might speak to the kids in the spectrum. There is no rule that forces them to only buy this one

    1. No hate but I'm assuming you're a neurotypical adult, so hindi ikaw ang target market diba? It's for neurodivergent girls.

      Delete
    2. I think may mas ibang purpose pa yan hindi lang laruin but inclusivity sa mga kids with autism.

      Delete
    3. Sis, di ka naman sinasabihang bumili. Hindi rin ikaw target buyer.

      Delete
  3. We respect and salute these special people but no need this kind of representation.

    1. Confusing ang statement mo. You respect people with special needs, at the same time ayaw mo na may representation sila? Consider yourself lucky na "normal" ka and hindi ka "special".

      Delete
    2. Of course easy for you to say. Point of view mo yan. Maayos ka. Pero for them, its a big thing. And for the kids, its awareness

      Delete
    3. Agree! Sure it was done in good faith pero alam mo din na gumagawa lang din sila ng ingay para mapag usapan.

      Delete
    4. Coming from someone na probably walang autistic family member or loved one. Who are you to speak about representation??

      Delete
    5. Perfect kasi si ateng

      Delete
    6. and why not? you don't like autism awareness? cos it does not apply to you ganun ba? eh paano naman yung iba? mag-adjust sila for you?

      Delete
    7. 12:12 exactly. Kailangan ng ingay para mapag-usapan. Mapag-usapan ang autism awareness and advocacy. At walang masama don. In fact, pabor yan sa mga tulad kong may anak na PWA kahit pa sabihin mong sa ngalan ng commercialism. I'll take it anytime.

    1. Thanks for that comment. I was wondering what those were and it's good na Mattel is bringing awareness and representation for this condition.

    4. Kapag nakaharap sa iyo si Barbie, hindi nakatingin mata niya sa iyo. Ika nga, lack of eye contact.

  8. Hey commenters, if hindi kayo ang target market ng doll na to then just leave it alone. Wag nyo naman bastusin. Parents who are taking care of their ausome kids appreciate this at yung mga ginagawa ng mga toy companies to be more inclusive. Most of these kids are getting the "look" from people like you na judgmental. Just because it doesn't apply to you eh masama na kaagad ang comment nyo. Be kind people. Lucky you that you don't have to go through this.

  9. Etong mga attitude sa comment section, sila yang mga walang pang unawa sa mga neurodivergent. I just can see how slow Philippines is in adapting to reality.

  10. Nakakalungkot ibang commenters dito. NAPAKA OUT OF TOUCH. Di ikaw ang market. Im neurodivergent. It’s for me. Kayo nakakaumay.

  11. Reading the comments just prove other kababayans do not care about representation. No matter “mababaw” it may seem please think of other families how much they appreciate this.

    1. Autism is some sort of behavioral disorder that many families struggle and understood by communities of course kaya nga accepted naman sa community as NORMAL kaya NOT NECESSARY na itong Doll for Autistic... We should help them act/do as NORMAL people do instead of showing their Indifference for having AUTISTIC Items din.. Eh di sana gawa na din ang Mattel ng PILAY, bulag etc na doll for each DISABILITY na lang... I do NOT WANT to buy my kid that specific doll & tell her "this is your doll kasi Autistic ka :(

      Delete
    2. It is not branding or identification. It is clear na you dont have a loved one with autism kasi ganun ang approach. The doll itself is a way of letting people know that there are people with autism who may look “normal” in the outside but face struggles. It is a way of representing these kids and a way for them to feel seen. People often see these kids and misunderstand their struggles because their disability is not outwardly seen.

  12. Looking at the other comments, halata
    mong iisang tao lang ang “naumay”. Ladies, be socially aware please. Read a book, read an article na makabuluhan. Wag puro tiktok. Your ignorance is showing in your comments 🀦🏻‍♀️ hayyy naku

    1. Bakit kaya pag sinabing TikTok, akala ng karamihan walang kwenta ang content? Meron naman STEM sa TikTok. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Pwede i-click yun kung gusto mo may matutunan ka. Bukod pa run, sa regular TikTok, meron rin mga doctors, nurses, teachers, and lawyers na nagbibigay ng information and advice sa kanila ng followers and viewers. Hindi lang naman puro trending dances ang TikTok, unless yun lang ang clinick mo na category nung nag sign up ka.

    2. 238 weh yung simpleng representation na ginawa ngayon ng Mattel eh umay na kayo, yan pa bang STEM kakayanin nyo? Oh please

  13. Ito yung nakakalungkot na mabasa yung mga comments na bastos at walang puso. If you have nothing good to say wag na lang magcomment. Sensya na di lahat perfect kagaya nyo. Kakasuka kayo.

    1. It is a common thing for kids in the spectrum to use but it does not mean all that use it are in the spectrum. It is like common sense and the brain, just because you have it does not mean that you use it

    2. Tell me you’re ignorant without telling me you’re ignorant 🀦‍♂️
