Much obliged. It's not as if it was elaborated in the first sentence or anything.
Wasn't in the post title though so…
What is this shit? I have nothing against audiobooks but it's literally not reading
/u/catladylove99 chimes in:
What's with people treating ADHD like fricking autism or being actually r-slurred lately? I'm young enough that it was a thing when I was going through school but it was more like, "take this meth and pay attention, dumbass" and not "OMG the whole world needs to accommodate your disability!!!"

I read every day and listen to audio books while driving and running. It's the exact same thing unless you have no ability to pay attention or are an extremely bad reader.

Running and driving are the same thing because they both move you to a different place

I seriously wonder how dumb a person would have to be to think that is an actual metaphor for the situation.

Like i implied, if you are terrible at reading then i could see them feeling different. Otherwise reading should be about as effortless as listening to someone else read it to you.
I've read every day for the great majority of my life, and i travel for work so i listen to audio books a lot. My guess is you do little of both

Bro I don't know why you're acting like I can't read when I literally read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 4th grade when it was at a 10th grade reading level, contributing heavily to our class getting a pizza party at the end of the year. I'm just saying that "read" and "listen" are different words for a reason, if you don't get that then you're no more clever than Harry when he had to rely on Moaning Myrtle to help him figure out the dragon egg riddle - typical jock.

IDK why you're trying to meme about this. You're the one butthurt that reading isn't super speciul and way better than listening to an audiobook.

Reading
alone 
is easier than listening alone. You can go at your own pace, reread easily, and look up words 
easily.
If someone can listen
to an audiobook (and comprehend it) they probably wouldn't have trouble 
reading 
it.

You can pause and go back on an audio book, and you can just a easily look up the words.

Listening is letting another person infect your brain with their words. Its also gay since its your head being basically penetrated by sounds.
Every real man I have met has been deaf or worn large earmuffs to block out the gay sounds of the world.
I don't even know what that is, but it sounds gay and jewish.

The issue in this case I suppose is that this dude is doing the same pseudo intellectual grandstanding as readers do, but with even less effort.

Listening and reading are separate activities, otherwise they would be the same word.
