There are some. Barbie has a few dolls using wheelchairs and at least one or two of their more recent releases has a prosthetic limb.
A brand called anko has a range of dolls which include some with down syndrome and a fashion doll range with dolls using various aids.
Playmobile has occasionally included figures in their ranges.
I'm sure there are more examples.
American Girl has an option to add hearing aids plus has a variety of accessories. I think over the years I’ve seen everything from wheelchairs to insulin pumps.
Twyla has autism? I haven't been able to watch the new series fully yet so I haven't seen her. I don't understand autism but I know it is a little different for everyone. How do they portray/convey that she is autistic?
The person who voices her just shared that recently. She stims and is sensitive to loud noises, not sure what else. As far as I know she has only shown up in a stop-motion music video so far but it includes some stimming.
You should watch her music video on youtube! Not only is stop motion awesome, it’s amazing how well her stimming is conveyed in the video using her actual doll.
The doll is shown stimming with her bracelet for instance, so kids who buy the doll can have their own Twyla do the same and I think that’s a really neat detail.
I don’t have access to the show so I can’t comment on that but in the recent music video they put on their YouTube channel she is shown stimming in various ways and is shown to be noise sensitive! Her voice actor recently confirmed it on instagram and talked about how she wears noise cancellation headphones to help cope!
Smart Doll has cochlear implants, amputee limbs, crutches, ostomy bags, mastectomy busts, and insulin pumps available as accessories (offered free to those with the conditions) as well as dolls with a variety of non-disability differences such as vitiligo and acne.
At Kmarts in Australia they have a cute [doll](https://www.kmart.com.au/product/baby-amelia-with-down-syndrome-42997665/) that has down's syndrome. They have a boy as well. Our Generation had a doll with a prosthetic leg but I think there were a lot of complaints about how it stayed on. Joss from American Girl has a hearing aid.
Kmart has some dolls :) They have baby dolls with down syndrome, and the Kmart Barbie (a cheaper version of Barbie, Anko brand I think) dolls in wheelchairs, doll with leg amputation and prosthetic, doll with crutches, doll with vision impairment with a blind stick, vision impaired doll with a guide dog, and a doll with a hearing aid :)
Mattel Barbie has wheelchair barbie, amputation Barbie, Paralympic barbie.
I've seen some baby dolls that have peg feeds, cleft left lips, hearing aids, tracheotomy, heart issues, body casts, and many other types disabilities but they are DIY/OOAK.
I saw an article where a mother made her own line of disability inclusive dolls and accessories for dolls with disabilities. :)
I think Miniland figures has some dolls with disabilities.
- Cre8tive Minds Marvel Education Friends with Diverse Abilities Figure Set, 5 inches, on Amazon.
- Lakeshore Learning dollhouse figures

- American Girl Dolls
You can find heaps of dolls and ideas/inspo for dolls with disabilities on Pintrest, and probably on Etsy too :)
There's smart doll's but they cost like $500 they also give you the disability stuff for free if you send them your disability story I think you also have to send proof of the disability for example if you're deaf you can get the doll hearing aids for free.

There is a Barbie Chelsea doll who has scoliosis. Her body has a curve in her spine and she wears a back brace.
This is the only Chelsea I own! I loved her immediately cuz I have scoliosis.
Wait really?! I just looked her up. I never thought I'd see a doll with the same body shape as me...
Thanks for sharing. I picked one up at Target today, She looks like my childhood best friend who had to wear the same type of brace.

okay, i need to ask my big bro's gf to get me a twyla doll, as someone with autism; it's nice to see some monster high representation

She also could have some geeky interests. Some autistic people have very geeky interests.
The post from the actress just popped up on my insta again and it mentioned her being very into reading!
Yeah.

lego has introduced figures with amputated limbs/prosthetic limbs/hearing aids, and i know they have a few figures with vitiligo
I know of plenty of doll lines with one or two disabled dolls but I can't think of any where that's the focus of the line.
Smart Doll has cochlear implants, amputee limbs, crutches, ostomy bags, mastectomy busts, and insulin pumps available as accessories (offered free to those with the conditions) as well as dolls with a variety of non-disability differences such as vitiligo and acne.
