The Canonical Neurodivergence of The Doctor

Summary:

All mentions of The Doctor being canonically neurodivergent.

Because it made me really happy stimmy when I first heard/saw these scenes and I think it'll make others really happy too.

Work Text:

,,Oi, Silvi!
Search ADHD! I bet his (10) picture comes up."

~ Donna Noble
(In the audio story "Technophobia")

 

The Tenth Doctor: ,,Whether you can hear them or not could depend on how neurotypical your mind is."

,,What are you saying exactly?" she (Sugar MacAuley) asked.

The Tenth Doctor: ,,I'm many things, Sugar MacAuley, but neurotypical has never been one of them."

(In the audio story "The Last Voyage")

 

The Eleventh Doctor: ,,The message, the message...even I can't translate it. I mean, why is everyone here if they don't understand it?"

Handles: ,,You're here."

The Eleventh Doctor: ,,Yeah, well. I'm OCD. What's their excuse?"

(In "The Time Of The Doctor")

 

The Twelfth Doctor: ,,How many days have I been here?"

Bors: ,,About three hours."

The Twelfth Doctor: ,,Three hours?"

Bors: ,,Well, nearly."

The Twelfth Doctor: ,,Maybe Clara's right. She keeps telling me I've got attention deficit...uuuhhh, something..."

(In the minisode "The Doctor's Meditation")
