I love audiobooks and consume them frequently but I personally don’t call it reading. It doesn’t feel like the same activity to me. What do you think?

    I think there’s some wiggle room here. A lot of neurodivergent folks quite literally can’t focus on reading, and being able to do something else while listening to a book can actually help with retention for those folks.

      Yes, in that wiggle room there is space for those folks that you’re talking about, in a way I feel a bit included. Then there’s those that have them as a background noise machine and feel that they’ve read the book.

      To second-screen watch a movie as is the same as to watch a movie?
