Here’s a fun fact: autistic people’s attention is more strongly captured by movement than neurotypicals’
For this reason, as soon as I’m less lazy, I want to start a web dev standard where you can turn off all animation that’s self-timed.
I cannot read a website if things are moving on it. If there’s an image carousel that moves on its own, I have to delete it with dev tools, along with all other self-initiated animations, before I can read anything on the page.
ADHD is the same way too
As an autistic person, I literally can't look at repeating animated GIFs or images with short loop cycles. When people post them in chats, I have to scroll past them, or even scroll up and not look at the new posts until I know the moving images will be above the window threshold once I scroll back to the bottom.
