A 9-year old autistic boy named Thomas, who was grieving the passing of his nanny, wrote a letter to The Doctor. Capaldi taped a personal video message to Thomas, which the boy’s parents shared on YouTube.
In sharing the video, Thomas’ parents wrote, “A lovely message from Peter Capaldi to my 9 year old autistic son. This arrived just before Thomas’ nanny’s funeral and helped him to deal with his grief in a profound way. Thank you Peter so much.”
