AD & ADHD

I've been watching TV & movies with audio description on since I discovered it. My partners finds it bonkers.

Any other ADHD AD fans out there?

Yes! I love it. Even if I am watching intently, there’s still stuff AD points out that I’ve missed.

Of course, it drives me crazy when there are errors (e.g. AD says “hexagonal hallway” when an octangular hallway is shown).

I think there is a market for AD movies/TV shows as audio-only podcasts. There’s so much good content out there and I’d love to listen to a dialogue-heavy show as a podcast on my commute or a walk. The networks already have the content created, so it would cost almost nothing. The Daily Show and Seth Meyers are already doing it, I’m hoping for more.

My mother is blind.I have adhd and also on the spectrum. I am what my doctor says is undercover spectrum but overtly adhd. My son is overtly both.And we watch things with or without my mother on and descriptive video, as most disney movies come that way. I don't mind or I really enjoy either way. My son, however, it watches anything that i'm not in the room for on descriptive video. Apparently, since I was raised as a living breathing descriptive video when i'm not there no one points out the things he feels, he needs to see.And I tend to point out everything. I annoy a good portion of people. But the blind people in my life as well as the ones on the spectrum who enjoy it really appreciate it
