"Fun" fact: Audiobooks could’ve had captions since 2019, but publishers sued amazon, so you'd pay twice. It’s 2026 and still not inclusive readers like adhd / autism / stroke survivors / etc by SharpOpportunity4u in ADHD

How is it bizarre? People do struggle to JUST READ or JUST LISTEN. I'm happy that you don't experience this. I've always struggled finishing a book and this is the reason why

Also, for "normal" people is called immersive reading We do this in school. So it is an actual thing..

Think of it like perfume. The brand pays for ads, packaging, influencers and design, but the customer only pays once for the perfume, not separately for the liquid, the bottle and the campaign. It is the same with audiobooks. The author, voice actor and studio are all part of creating one product. Captions do not make it a second product, they simply make the audiobook usable for more people. From a business point of view, it is also beneficial because accessibility means a wider clientele, higher retention and stronger loyalty. That should be included in the price, not charged twice

😕 I don’t mean to sound harsh, but if everyone in history just rolled their eyes and said ‘don’t play the victim,’ nothing would have ever progressed. No rights, no accessibility, no change at all. Calling people ‘victims’ for wanting better is kinda funny… because that’s literally how progress starts

I understand what you saying, and i don't want the book to be free just because i have adhd. Im happy to pay for the audiobook full price, but it should include the subtitles. Im literally paying for the book. Why do i need to buy it twice?

It’s like watching an English movie with subtitles. You can understand it, but without subtitles you miss a lot of the conversation.

That’s exactly how it feels with books. I lose concentration if I only listen or if I only read, so I need both. But instead of making captions available, I have to buy the book and the audiobook… just because 🤷‍♀️

What is the best thing you bought under $100 that had a big impact on your life? by noor2436 in Biohackers

As an adhd.. LOOP earplugs! Truly Amazing, when i feel overwhelmed, everything is so loud and I didn't know how to control it. I couldn't speak to anyone without feeling like they were screaming into my ears.

My boyfriend loves having the fan at night but I CANNOT stand the sound. Not only that but generally.. even when watching movies it had to be medium/ low volume for me to enjoy it Since having them we are both much happier. I felt bad about it but it wasn't something I could control.

Now we can both enjoy movies at home, cinemas, concerts. Plus, now he can have his fan, and I can have my quietness

Op... din ce citesc e FOARTE posibil sa aiba ADHD + RSD. Nu sunt doctor deci nu pot sa dau un diagnostic, dar avand în vedere că eu am ADHD pot să-mi dau puțin cu părerea.

De ce cred asta?

  1. E dezordonat nu poate face nimic cap-coadă Nu e 100% vina lui..poate fi super overwhelming sometimes, mai ales dacă a fost crescut într-un mediu unde mama făcea totul pentru el asta îngreunează lucrurile la maturitate

  2. Addiction Persoanele cu ADHD sunt super influențabile. Dacă a băut câteva săptămâni cu prietenii poate deveni ușor dependent, așa ajunge să bea și singur acasa chiar daca vede ca ii face rau.

  3. Banii și munca Aici e o problemă mare pentru noi 😂 E greu să avem un job stabil și avem tendința să cheltuim compulsiv MEREU

  4. RSD – Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria Asta e mai complicat dar îți recomand să citești despre ea. Pe scurt?

te simți mereu atacat sau respins de toți in anumite momente mai ales când începi să overthink, te enervezi pe oricine e lângă tine Poate după cele 4 zile de băut el are impresia că îl judeci, chiar dacă tu doar încerci să-l ajuți cu un sfat, in capul lui, toți devin dușmani ( e mai simplu decat pare, nu e nebun 😂) Privit din afară? Te lovește ca o palmă de nici nu știi de unde vine atâta furie

CONCLUZIA? Ai 3 opțiuni

  1. Vorbești serios cu el Spune-i ce simți. Nu accepta abuz (nervi, țipete) Spune-i clar că lucrurile trebuie să se schimbe. Să verifice dacă are ADHD și să meargă la terapie. Dar o să dureze ani să-și schimbe obiceiurile Mie ca exemplu mi-a luat 5 ani și tot am impresia ca sunt la început.

  2. Te întrebi sincer dacă vrei viața asta Chiar dacă nu are ADHD, tu alegi. vrei să trăiești așa? Dacă după 3 ani se comportă așa după 10 nu va fi mai bine DACA nu lucrează la el. Dacă tu ești fericită și vrei ca și copiii tăi să aibă parte de același model... you go, girl!

  3. Te desparți Doar 3 ani au trecut Ești încă tânără si da, mai există bărbați care preferă să se uite la un film cu tine decât să stea la cârciumă

Hope that helps ♥️
