Subtitles

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 prefer not to have subtitles when a programe is in English, but it dosen't bother me when I'm watching foreign language programs. What does bug me is when subtitles tell you a person is speaking a foreign language but dosen't tell you waht they're saying. I'm also unsure how correct many subtitles are? The word choice can be a little odd at times.
