The aim of this book is to explore the reasons why Doctor Who has had such an enduring resonance with autistic and other neurodivergent fans over the course of its history. Film and culture writer Lillian Crawford explores these fascinating themes with direct reference to her own life growing up as an autistic woman during the post-2005 ‘New Who’ era, and insightful interviews with various people who have been involved in the making of the show, and new and old fans who identify as neurodivergent.
