One of the world's most beloved children's shows Bluey has introduced its first deaf character, named Dougie, who uses Auslan to communicate. But the groundbreaking character comes with its set of challenges - most Auslan signs require five fingers and the dogs in Bluey have only four.
Right away we learn that Dougie is deaf and communicates with his mother using Auslan (Australian sign language). Dougie and his mom play with Turtleboy with equal eagerness, but also choose to leave the toy at the park in case his owners come looking for him.
However, the character Dougie is deaf and is depicted as using Auslan to communicate with his mum. Dougie and his mum (voiced by Miranda Tapsell) are in the episode "Turtleboy", which is centred on a turtle toy found at the playground, first by Bingo and Bandit and then by Dougie and his mum.

He is the first Deaf character to appear, and he uses Australian Sign Language (Auslan) to communicate with his mum.
Newcomer Dougie, based on a cavoodle, is profoundly deaf and uses Auslan to communicate with his mum (voiced by Miranda Tapsell).

Jack, one of Bluey's school mates, is portrayed as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, we only come to know - or come to assume - that Jack has this condition based on the way he can't sit still and can't remember his school hat.
The theory has been circling fan circuits since the show's first season when Bingo was mysteriously admitted to the hospital in 'Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound' without an explanation. Many believe the reason behind the little pup's hospital visit is Bingo suffering from Celiac disease or a strong gluten intolerance.
Some people theorized this was a genetic trait, but some theorized that Socks was autistic. Despite Bluey having a crib in Baby Race, Socks had a dog bed in Verandah Santa. This may indicate that this happens often. It is possible that Socks was going through a phase where she acted like a dog.
Trivia. He loves condensed milk. He is the first known character to be neurodivergent, in his case he has ADHD.
Chilli Heeler had a miscarriage. The mom from the incredibly popular kids TV show “Bluey” lost a pregnancy. We don't know when, if it happened before or after Bluey or Bingo or how far along she was in the pregnancy. But we know now.
"As other mums have said, it's implied that Missy is adopted/fostered. Shows her with a mum that's a different type of dog.
According to Guinness World Records, Bluey (1910–1939) lived to 29 years, 5 months before being euthanised. At that time she was the oldest lived dog ever verified.

An implied joke about testicles and vasectomies is acceptable, but poop, farts, and flogging a sports team are just too far. Out of the ten new Bluey episodes, two of them hit Disney+ with censorship in the form of altered dialogue.
It is clear to me, and apparently many others on Bluey fan Wiki, that Jack, the protagonist of this episode, has ADHD, and I've never seen the story of an ADHD kid told like this.
Bluey has ADHD. And she cannot focus long enough on a task to be able to play a game with her family.
