Wondering about fellow autistics:

Do any of you find video/audio being out of sync - on your TV, your computer, where ever - to be completely disorienting? I can't watch it. I'm in a telecon right now where the video and audio are about 2 seconds off from each other, and I had to minimize the window, so I was just listening. It's almost a panic reaction, when I can't fix it.

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic omg yes.

If it’s outta sync, if they play music with lyrics during dialogue, if it’s a clear channel top 40 song shoehorned in a scene it doesn’t fit: music/audio in media I consume can cause me to have a visceral reaction.

Glad to hear I’m not alone.

@flexghost @ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic audio processing issues are fun, aren’t they? I need cc when watching tv bc any other noise means I can’t understand it. I learned to read lips (sort of) to help me in noisy environments.

@kataklysm @ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Omg CC changed my life for the better. When I go to mom’s to watch movies we always have them on now. She even does it when I’m not there
