How do you handle watching movies and shows? (lemmy.autism.place)

I genuinely open up about this matter.

All my life, movies have usually beaten my senses whenever I watch them somehow.

Anyone could yell and it would affect me but not anyone else whether they have autism or not.

Wherever I went, a movie or show would be playing and people would make me deal with it by refusing to turn it off over other people.

Never mind the things I disagree on with each movie or show…all of them genuinely affect my senses and they always did even right now.

I am autistic myself…does anyone else with autism know how to handle this situation?

I explained to my father about the movies we grew up on: I especially told him about the films I didn't like and he understood.

We haven't really been watching most kids movies anymore, and Dad has moved on his own movies and shows as well.
