Bruno will be voiced by actors with autism in the U.S., U.K. and Italy, with storylines written by neurodivergent writers.
September 7, 2022 / 1:04 PMFans of"Thomas & Friends" will get to meet a new character, as Bruno the Brake Car joins Thomas the Tank Engine as the franchise's first character with autism. Mattel announced the addition to the beloved British children's show Wednesday.
"Bruno rolls in reverse at the end of the train, which gives him a unique perspective on the world," the release said."Detail-oriented Bruno enjoys schedules, routine, and knows where all the tracks lead on Sodor." Getting"autistic input" was the most important aspect of Bruno's development, said Zoe Gross, director of advocacy for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
Bruno will be voiced by actors with autism in the U.S., U.K. and Italy, with storylines written by neurodivergent writer, according to Mattel. Ten-year-old Chuck Smith was cast in the U.S. in his first role.

Solvay to cut waste discharged off Italy, ending tussle with activistBelgian chemicals group Solvay said it plans to cut industrial waste discharged into the sea from soda-ash production on a Tuscan beach, in the wake of pressure from environmentalists and activist Bluebell Capital Partners. Solvay, which had previously pushed back on concerns the waste may be harmful, now plans to invest around 15 million euros ($14.96 million) to reduce the release of limestone residue into the sea at its facility in Rosignano, Italy, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. That will help cut the maximum it discharges into the sea by 20% compared to what regulators currently allow the company by 2030, it said. By 2040, that volume will drop to 40% below what the authorities have said it can release into the sea.
