the 11th doctor showing (many) autistic & adhd traits

#doctorwho #11thdoctor #audhd #autism #adhd #neurodivergent #eleventhdoctor

quick disclaimer: I don't own any of these clips, all rights belong to the BBC

also, I'm not an expert - just a neurodivergent person who likes making video compilations of characters they relate to :)

so anyway, enjoy the video :D

[onedaxster]

I think another one that should have been in the video, a trait that is literally called out
"Are you capable of speaking without flapping your hands about?"
"Yes." (clap) "No."

[xeno]

With over 900 years of life, he has SO much he can infodump about

[FerretKibble]

Can't watch the fish fingers and custard scene without remembering that Young Amy's actor was making mistakes on purpose because it meant she got to keep eating the ice cream...

[omgubler]

lol the fact that this video could probably be like an hour long

[cynthiakhan]

11th doctor is me 🤣🤣🤣
That's why he is my doctor 🤣

[bookwormat]

Hearing from a friend that Ten and Eleven both probably have AuDHD was what got me to start looking for a diagnosis… and yeahhh, I’ve got it _bad_

[squirrelcamera]

Can’t stop thinking about them hiring a Matt smith lookalike and that guy getting told his job is to spend the day painting a fence with his back to the camera

[Starbright_]

I cannot stress how much this man is literally me.

[lunavixrn]

Ahh my adhd represented in my favourite doctor. This is why I love him so. I miss the ponds era, it was my favourite

[timothyp]

As a person with adhd I love 11 and 13 because I feel represented.

[theundeniablegem]

‘has anyone ever told you you’re a bit weird?’
‘they never really stop.’
my life in less than 15 words.

[gallifreyan_]

Considering 11 is my mumber 1 favrouite snd im also very much a adhd and tism human this made me very much happy!

[jessealvarado]

as a person who had autism i think 11 is quite nice

[Sabbalab]

I found out that I'm autistic a few years ago. I've been rewatching the show this year (I've reached series 10) and I relate to a LOT of the 11th and 12th doctor mannerisms.

I loved that whole scene with the Lodger

[Wrens-hellsite-adventure]

I knew there was a reason he's one of my favourites, he's just like me fr. He even does the same stim!

[gerrardjones]

I always related to 11 the most and recently found out I have ASD so it's no wonder

[Alexander-wxie]

The last one really hits An now I am sad

[vivi_needssleep]

I LOVE the 11th Doctor and being able to relate to them, and their many neurodivergent traits, makes me love and adore them even moooore ;v;

(I haven't and can't get a proper diagnosis yet (due to money and support issues) but I have a 96% chance to be ADHD, I just know I'm not neurotypical at all)

[alexhand]

I'm not autistic (as far as I know) but I find him incredibly endearing. His attention to detail and rigid, yet loose behaviour is admirable.

[nateowen]

He’s neurodivergent on top of being an alien
