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 find subtitles very helpful, and now (vs before my diagnosis, which is when I realised that they could help) have them on permanently.

    I personally prefer the smaller and more discreet text styles that some of the streaming platforms use, because their subtitles block out less of what's happening on the screen. But, obviously, each to their own - and some will definitely benefit from the larger text for eyesight reasons alone.

    It would be nice to have options for how the text is presented - maybe we'll also get that, one day? But in the meantime I'm very grateful for what we have.
