“Mattel has been a proud partner of the National Autistic Society for many years, and every year, we look at new ways to work with them to reflect neurodiversity and autism within the Thomas & Friends brand. This has included the introduction of Bruno, the first autistic character in the iconic Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go™ series to the development and launch of the Thomas & Friends Autistic friendly clothing range. We know that autistic children have a strong relationship with the Thomas & Friends brand and through our partnership we have been able to recognize the importance of reflecting neurodiversity and autism in the Thomas & Friends brand and help increase autism acceptance and awareness“.
