Summary
Every episode follows one of the modern doctors and the reader, who's their time travelling companion and autistic, like me! These short stories are based on my own feelings and experiences with this disability. They can be read individually, but I highly recommend reading this as one overarching story. I love this show and the doctor is my comfort character, so naturally I had to write this.
Have fun and never forget: you are seen, you are loved and you are valid.

The doctor has tried to talk about it over the past few months, he really did. He’d have that knowing look in his eyes, but you’d just find some distraction, something to make this all feel less real. Even despite the sleepless nights, despite the constant thudding of your chest, you just wouldn’t allow him to speak up. Better to endure a racing and pounding heart, than a shattered one.

Turning back to the door at the end of his study, you can’t help but think back to bright, wonderful Bill Potts. Maybe society will always deem those that fall outside the mould as lesser than, no matter how wrong they might be in that assessment. In that case, it’s a good thing you’ve been able to find your own little family, right here on planet Earth.
