I have always felt that one of these days the Doc needs a companion with the ADHD hyper focus who gets on the Tardis and within 3 trips has spent VAST hours in the library, the computer, and just basically exploring and poking about. Not only would ADHD be something useful in their constant state of danger and flux, but with the right moments of hyper focus they would be incredibly informed.

I want the Doctor to just be like “Oh No, not THEM,” and thier new companion to be like- “You thinking Daleks? I was thinking Daleks. I mean that one thing very much sounded like them. Shall I get the paint guns from that room past the pool?” And the Doctor to be just - “Wha? How? I- You know what, yes, paint guns and also…” “The laser saw under the bunk bed. On it.”

Or even better, they need to have seen ALL the files on past companions and just spout things off like- “Donna would not approve.” Or “Ace would be upset at how dusty these explosives are. What is the point of have explosives if you never use them?” Or “Rory would want to stay and help,” or “Bill would want you to try.” And the Doc, looking perhaps a tad hurt, spitting out, “Well, they’re not here, they don’t get a say.” New companion just leveled yet affectionately stares the Doc down and says, “I know. That’s why I said it. Someone has to keep you in line.”

Don’t get me wrong, ADHD is awful to deal with in a “normal” life, and would still cause friction in a Tardis life, but we could all Percy Jackson on this and end up show casting all the ways ADHD can used when you aren’t trying to tamp down on it all the time. It could be FANTASTIC.
