I really think Peter Capaldi is autistic and wasn't diagnosed. Autism varies in people and his traits may be arranged in such a way that he makes them work for him.

People who grow up undiagnosed learn to mask their "weirdness" so they don't stand out, or may go their whole lives not realizing, but other autistic people tend to spot it. Stories he told about his early life point to it, too. He had a fireman's hat that he wore all the time when he was really young (like under age ten), he burned all of his nerdy stuff as a teen because he was bullied severely for it (even teachers encouraged it!!!) and he felt "physically stupid" any time he tried to play sports. He indicates he never really fit in anywhere and that's just reaaaaaaal familiar to how I felt pre-diagnosis. (late diagnosed adult here!)

I always thought Anthony Hopkins was autistic too. He gives off this vibe that he's different in some way, and it turns out I'm right. He was diagnosed late in adulthood too. http://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/people/brucefessierentertainment/2017/01/02/westworld-star-anthony-hopkins-explores-consciousness/96018744/?from=global

Peter Capaldi honestly has the same vibe as Anthony Hopkins. The way he moves and sometimes how he talks seems practiced yet awkward. I think the man is autistic and doesn't have a clue because he got lucky enough that he chose a lifestyle where his traits don't get in his way so much. Watch how he moves his hands and body during interviews when he's not being a character, and he seems so uncomfortable in his skin. But give him a role to play and he shines.

Another autistic person follow brought this up on Tumblr and they got attacked so bad by Capaldi's super rabid fans that this person will not discuss it anymore because they were almost blocked by everybody they liked to reblog PCap pics from. It was awful.

Autism can make someone's life really hard, but sometimes their traits aren't external, or they make their issues work in their favor. And honestly? What makes autism harder isn't usually the autism itself, it's other people not respecting the sensory issues, communication needs or even seeing the competence in people who can't talk at all.
