Loop and Burnout: The Multiverse of Doctor Who and Autism - With Mikey

In today's episode I am joined with Mikey who is autistic and loves Doctor Who. He was diagnosed when he was born and also has ADHD. Since he was 14 years old he decided to create his own characters, he loves to draw them in Mikey's own universe! he voice acts being his characters which is actually quite cool and amazing!  Mikey links in his feelings to his characters too called burnout he brings his characters to life Mikey's Mind of Colour. He represents his own character as the 14th Doctor as he was 14 when he started this, so many characters come watch and listen to find out more about Mikey.  We also talk Autism and understanding and people not understanding, Mikey expresses how he feels with a flowing conversation, with Mikey loving art me talks about his frustration how people can be unkind. We also talk about autism within Doctor Who and how the Doctor the timelord can be autistic something that has come up a lot this series! The Loop what that means to me and Mikey and most of you that will know Autism is like a loop constantly going in circles to try to get your point across and for people to get you.  A great conversation with Mikey learned lots today! he has shared where you can go find it! A a quote he relates to is from the 4th Doctor - "What's the point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes!" Thank you again Mikey this was great fun!
