Subtitles

Expecto_Patronum

Just interested in people's preference over subtitles. I hear many neurodivergent people say that they find it much easier to watch tv and follow what is happening if they have the subtitles on. I don't find this at all. If there are subtitles, I forget to watch the actual program because I'm fixated on reading the subtitles.

  • I do make quite a lot of use of subtitles on films and TV programmes - even though my hearing is fine.

    If there is an unpalatable news item (or odious personality speaking) I sometimes mute the audio and put on the subtitles - to enable my absorbing the facts of the matter ...without all the voices, sound effects, music background tracks, jingles etc.

    I also make heavy use of written transcripts from online courses and YouTube videos if they are available.
