The Masking Rabbit is a 22-inch plush rabbit sold as a set with a tote bag, made by a brand focused on autism acceptance. Its removable masks and a fixed "permanent mask" expression are designed to start conversations about autistic masking, the way autistic people hide traits to fit in. It suits autistic shoppers, families, educators and therapists who want a comfort object that carries meaning, and it stands apart from ordinary stuffed rabbits because of that message rather than its materials. With a 5-out-of-5 average from 46 ratings, buyers describe it as soft and well made, though it is a niche item rather than a toy for every child.

Masking Rabbit is a plush rabbit stuffed animal about masking, the way autistic people consciously or unconsciously suppress or hide their autistic traits to fit societal norms. That can include mimicking neurotypical behaviors, suppressing stimming and managing sensory sensitivities.
The rabbit is super soft and measures approx. 57 cm (22 in) from the tips of its ears to its toes. Its design carries symbolism: removable masks sit over an underlying "permanent mask" expression, which stands for masking too long. A CGA palette represents hidden obsessive interests, and a falsetto "Suit" represents having to dress to appease societal norms.
The set comes with a sturdy tote bag. The design team only creates mental health plushies on topics they have direct experience with, or works with an external team of experts. They also gather feedback from an audience that includes people with direct experience.
