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

one of the most (obviously) neurodivergent incarnations of the doctor imo

Lol, the fact that in the first part, the Tenth Doctor is in the New World Theatre thingy around the same time in which Crowley would have also visited with Aziraphale and they're both played by David Tennant, who plays in theatre before moving onto the silver screen- 😂

Not to mention the uncanny similarity to Crowley while he is calling the robot thing "thick"-

you should see the extended 9 to 10 regeneration clip. He gets SO hyperactive and distracted. literally struggling to adjust to his new body and then he gets distracted by a lever he's never seen before

[Eclopiaedits]

2:00 apparently him saying physics a lot could be him saying a ton of very advanced stuff and the tardis translating it into terms we can understand (a theory I heard somewhere lol)

The doctor's pear hatred was so relatable to me, especially as a kid when everyone made fun of me for my food sensitivities and i didn't really know why i was like that.

David Tennant just looks like he’s having fun all the time in this role. Which, isn’t surprising given he’s said it was his childhood dream to be Doctor Who after watching Tom Baker in the role. It therefore isn’t surprising he’s come back twice since then.

Physics! Physics physics physics physics physics physics… hope your getting all this down.

[asthejayflies]

ten’s mannerisms have always been the most endearing to me. Im arospec so i dont usually get crushes on anyone, let alone fictional characters, but damn if ten doesnt make me stupidly happy to watch :) i love him

[FantasticTalesOfMyLife]

I am psychiatrically diagnosed ADHD, and as ADHD I think that people with adhd are somehow attracted to each other. Applying this, it sounds a bit weird, but you can notice when someone is adhd without them telling you so. I was kind of aware that the 10th and 11th generation had those traits from watching Doctor Who, but I didn't expect to find people on Youtube feeling the same way. Even if their characters are not officially adhd, I think the writers are actually inspired by people who that have adhd.

i’m convinced that in The Shakespeare Code, when the doctor and martha are in the globe theatre and he’s obsessing over the 14 sides, him saying “14, why does it ring a bell?” was added so they could wait and bring him back as the 14th doctor

[Axolotl]

I feel like this is what happens when "How do we, the studio, make a weird character?" And then you have Autism.

Came to watch some Doctor Who clips, ended up getting a diagnosis.

[trainknut]

I don't know why but the delivery of "and so's your da" at 2:30 kills me every time
It's just so unnecessarily extra and I love it.

[SomeonesBestFriend_SBF]

I love that the not liking pears transends regeneration, like have you seen 12's regeneration speech? I can't remember seeing 11 talking about pears, but I can assume that that is a universal thing between at least the three of tyhem if not every Doctor.

[lilrockstar]

Ten was definitely the most impulsive out of all the doctors, it’s both his biggest flaw and what lands him in half the situations he ends up in (and this is why I relate to him hard 😭)

[Isla-eqqh]

I reckon that 10 is AuDHD and 11 is Autistic (maybe ADHD). Both are very neurodivergent coded but I think 10 presents more ADHD and 11 more autism (it can happen when people have both but the symptoms of one are way stronger)

[lisa_wistfulone]

The verbal stims!! Thickety thickk, Phy-sics, etc… Those words roll around well!!!😍😅

[mossripalextechno]

Im an AuDHDer and i guess i know why I relate to him so much then!

[SirsasthNigam.]

Whoever wrote so many lines for 10th is amazing

[cyan]

take a shot every time the doctor holds his earlobe

[THE_SHERLOCK_HOLMES]

I am The Doctor.


I HATE PEARS.
ALLONS-Y!
