Panda's Doctor Who adventure

My name is Panda and I’m undertaking a self made challenge. First thing about me, I’m autistic and coming out of lockdown has been very stressful for me. Another big thing about me, is I’m a big fan of Doctor Who. 

So it challenging myself to be around people more and travelling on different forms of public transport, places and all the sensory overload. As its the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, I challenged myself to get as many autographs as possible from the series as possible, while trying to learn to be around other humans (not necessarily to engage but to be out of my little bubble). The autographs I collected will be raffled off for two charities. The National Autistic Society and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Support UK. 

So far, I’ve pushed myself to:

An Overview of the #DoctorWho Record-Breaking Fundraiser, Bedford Who Charity Con 7 (@BedfordWho)

The seventh Bedford Who Charity Con took place in early April, and raised more than £10,000 for Bedford Foodbank. The event featured three incarnations of the Doctor, a world first of two Davroses (if that is the plural; they could not decide), and never-told-before stories from entertaining guests. With the world as it is, not only was this a record sum raised for charity by the convention but…
