#I love The Doctor stimming with the TARDIS Console

Just a few TARDIS stimmy noises

Clara Oswald Platonic Imagine request please where reader is Neurodivergent and has a love for history, but was made to be ashamed of it when young despite Clara sticking up for them, and Clara being happy for them when they are able to talk all the time about the interest when travelling with the doctor? Sorry it’s so long

Thank you so much for the request! I took the liberty of choosing Capaldi!Doctor as the doctor in this. I should mention also, I am neurodivergent myself and have a life long fascination with The Romanov's, so I get it.

The Doctor picks their companion's with pride and care and so when Clara suddenly drags you onto his ship, he's all hands wavy and gesturing at you.

"Doctor!" Clara's voice is stern and The Time Lord fully stops in his tracks.

Your watching the two while rocking back and forth on your feet. "I can go, Clars, really."

Clara turns to look at you. "No, you will not. Doctor, you need to apologize."

"Really, you should be the one apologizing. You're the one bringing someone completely new onto the TARDIS." The Doctor is saying, gesturing a hand out towards you.

Your eyes widen and you look at him, although you barely make eye contact. "I can pay, just like I have for tours and all that. I just wanna see Alexander Palace in its prime, that's all."

The Doctor swiftly turns to look at Clara, the hand pointed out towards you waving as he begins to talk. "Oh, so now your using as a tourist service, Clara?"

Clara swiftly grabs his arm, turning him in a circle and marching him towards the stairs toward the upper part of the console room. Her voice is lowered, but you know from the look on her face she is lecturing him just like she does her students. The Doctor, every once in awhile, turned to look at you, before nodding. "Alexander Palace, right?"

It was the best day of your life, being able to sit and explore the palace at the end of Tsarist Russia.

The Doctor was eager to listen to you info dump all about the palace and the information about it, and he fed you little bits of information that you didn't know while softly correcting you on information you had wrong.

Clara and him didn't expect you to become a staple in the TARDIS after that.

The next couple of months were filled with just history trips and The Doctor and Clara making sure you weren't interrupted whenever you'd just stop and stare at the people or paintings.

Clara sat next to you, the two of you sitting on the floor of the TARDIS next to the door, as you just stared up at the construction of the Eiffel Tower. "So, how does it feel?"

"Amazing. These have been the best months of my life. I can never thank you and The Doctor enough." You whispered, watching the men move about.

"You don't have to thank us at all. I know how much this means to you." Clara said, watching you for a minute before looking out at the construction herself.

"I'll have to get The Doctor something." You whispered, continuing to watch.

"You don't have to get me anything. It's good enough to see someone appreciating Earth's history. I should take you to The Titanic." The Doctor says, swiftly moving to join the two of you on the floor.

"I'd rather not die in 1912, thanks." You said absently.

"He'd get us off the ship before, right Doctor?"

"Of course, duty of care." The Doctor said, watching you.

The two try to keep you out of the process of events surrounding places.

You three had been there for the beheading of Anne Boleyn, you had been in fact quietly singing "Don't Lose Your Head" during it all under your breath.

The two enjoyed your little info dumps about situations and locations and people as you travelled through time.

The two never ever put you down about your little quirks or when you'd stim excitedly over an event (you excitedly flappy handed when you three "accidentally" ran into someone you had excitedly read about as a kid)

The three of you were apart of The Ides of March, and you and Clara had joined in on the stabbing of Julius Caesar.

ADHD & Autistic Doctor

(Doctor Character Study part 2b)

 I want to thank @browneyesandpinstripes

3rd Doctor:

The Third doctor is one of the doctors who have to deal with being the most confined to one space in the beginning as he has no control over his TARDIS. This agitates the doctor. I think part of this is he does have patterns and set things he does, even with his uncertainty. It also limits his movement. He also tends to experience his symptoms more inward then expressing them much outward. He has a lot of people who can help him and has a stable environment which I think is silmuntasly really helpful to keep the doctor level but also can be an agitating factor in the beginning.

Like most doctors will ramble to themselves (TV: Spearhead from Space)

Full of useless special interest information (TV: Carnival of Monsters)

His clothes are extremely eccentric for a timelord or a human. Has an obvious lack of what's supposed to be an acceptable form of dress.

Stims with his hands when under stress (TV: Claws of Axos)

Tries to bolt on impulse (TV: Spearhead from Space)

Become hyperfocus on the science in a situation to think to throw all his actions. Putting the world in danger (TV: Claws of Axos)

Thinks doing math will calm other people down as well (TV: Claws of Axos)

The Brigadier and his men are always rolling their eyes at the doctor for saying ridiculous things or acting oddly. But his compassion, expertise, and smarts lead the others to still befriend and trust the doctor.

Humms to himself while working.  (TV: Doctor Who and The Silurians). Fidgets constantly stimming with his own hands and the objects around him.

Gets frustrated when people are not listening or paying attention to him. Tends to shut down versus yelling at them (TV: The Invasion)

Has trouble communicating full concepts to his friends, always asking if they understand.

Has A special interest in science and engineering. An example of this is his love of his car Bessie,  (TV: Doctor Who and The Silurians, TV: The Ambassadors of Death, TV: Inferno, and more). Another is how he was able to quickly able synthesise different treatments and using chemistry very often (Comic: The Arkwood Experiments, Comic: Insect, Comic: The Multi-Mobile)

The Third Doctor like the second doctor is also able to resist mind reading.(Prose: The Mind Extractors)

Katy Manning stated that Jo was in love with the doctor. If this is true then the doctor was completely oblivious to her feelings.

Struggles with the proper volume and tone of his speech. This happens a lot when he wants people to listen.

Able to put himself in completely sensory shutdown (TV: Spearhead from space)

4th Doctor:

Seems to deeply enjoy being odd and confusing those around him. Often using his fast talking and nonsense [to the regular person] to his advantage. Also has lots of dealings with the timelords in person and not just via communications. With these interactions, we see that the doctor is odd even compared to timelords. Not only was he punished for disobeying he also just doesn't fit in on Gallifrey.

Can not focus and hyper starting in the first episode. Won’t stay still for Harry Sullivan to do his work. Can’t focus on the actual task UNIT is doing either. (TV: Robot)

tries to explain social things to Leela, who doesn't understand her being an alien, gets both of them into trouble. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, TV: Horror of Fang Rock)

Sarah often has to explain the doctor to other people once saying “He talks to himself because he’s the only one who understands what he’s talking about” (TV: The Claws of Axos) Harry also comments on the doctor’s idiosyncrasies saying,“Better give him a whistle, Commander. He does have these absent-minded moments.” (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen)

The time lords also acknowledge the doctors continued divergence from the societal norms with the fourth doctor saying “ You, Doctor, are a special case” (TV: Genesis of The Daleks)

Stims with his scarf.

Romana asks him where they are going, four replies “Philosophically or geographically” (TV: City of Death)

The doctor is more affected by the time disturbance  than Romana showing he has more sensory sensitivities than Romana (TV: City of Death)

Doesn't understand social cues around him. This is very evident when he interacts with the Brigadier and the other unit folk.‎ Is consistently referred to as undisciplined by other time lords (TV: The Invasion of Time). Is later told he is acting weird even for his standards by Borusa. (TV: The Invasion of Time)

Even when faced with a serious event he is still distractible. When trying to save himself on Gallifrey he has time to joke around and always has his over the top movement. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

Always found doing things almost never at rest. For example before and after going out on an intense adventure he has to continue Painting. (TV: Underworld)

Has the every doctor habit of talking a million miles an hour. Sarah Jane references this. (TV: School Reunion)

Romana I often references the doctor's inability to focus, how he wasn't successful in school, and his hyper/special interest in earth. (series 16)

He was often inattentive to those around him.

Has no understanding of the proper tone, or volume with which to speak. Also has exaggerated facial expressions and body language.

Rambles with information no one else understands (TV: Image of the Fendahl)

Doesn't understand social conventions expects things to just fall in line (TV: Image of Fendahl and more)

Shares Jelly babies as a food he uses as comfort/oral stim, possible a comfort object with second doctors. (TV: The Dominators, TV: The Three Doctors, TV: The Five Doctors, AUDIO: Ghost in the Machine, TV: Robot, TV: The Ark in Space,  TV: Revenge of the Cybermen, TV: The Face of Evil, Audio: Death-Dealer, TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, TV: Image of the Fendahl and more) easily agitated when confused. When he can't figure out the fifth planet he throws the info disks across the room.  Them props himself on the console and hangs his head. Slams his hand on the table. (TV: Image of Fendahl)

Has trouble processing information quickly and becomes ‎too absorbed in thought to realise he needed to run. (TV: The Sunmakers)

‎hyperfocus/trouble changing topics (TV: The Sunmakers)

‎His mind is hard to read and different from other  time lords (TV: The Invasion of Time)

Excessive talking to himself to work out problems and focus. Saying “I talk to myself sometimes”  (TV: Invasion of Time)

‎Inability to control his tone/speed of speech. Once Rodand said"Don't get excited", The Doctor replied, "I'm not getting excited”. Leela then says,"yes you are getting excited." She places her hand on him to get him to calm down. He does but does not concede he was excited.  (TV: Invasion of Time)

Impulsive behaviour including seeing a shiny bracelet and just taking it (TV: City of Death)
