[QUESTION: I'm wondering, when watching Doctor Who, could the Doctor could be diagnosed with ADHD?]

MATT SMITH: Probably, yeah. I mean, I probably can. Yeah, I mean I think the Doctor could be diagnosed with a lot of things. He’s a pretty strange, mad creature. He’s got a lot of alien afflictions, I’m sure. But yeah, why not! Why not.

#watched this q&a video way back like a year or so ago and been wanting to post this quote somewhere #(eleventh) doctor is neurodivergent tag #doctor who #eleventh doctor #11th doctor #matt smith #words by seaweed #if I had a penny for every time Matt Smith called the Doctor a 'mad creature' I'd have a ton of pennies. but also #‘‘I think you've got to be slightly mad to play the doctor. genuinely. I think you need a genuine streak of madness in you’’ (same q&a)#me wondering if its relevant that growing up Matt Smith had a speech impediment and instead of speaking got by on football skillz #some neurodivergencies ARE illnesses 'afflictions' and some arent. so while adhd isnt(?) ima also take this for my schizophrenic eleven hc #that is- a time lord condition w significant *similarities* to schizophrenia but occurring in time lords. ‘‘a lot of alien afflictions’’#which is why I usually say psychotic eleventh doctor <3 he's me #(can only fully speak for those I experience but I love ALL neurodivergent doctor readings and I've seen so many adhd hcs <3 )
