Body language such as facial expressions, tone of voice, physical proximity, long gazes, quick gazes, and casual body contact are all ways to create subtext. These things also have cultural implications as well as assumptions about neurotypical audiences. It can be an area where autistics can have difficulty eliciting meaning, and may need to have some things spelled out in more detail.

Dialogue is also a source of subtext. This includes perceived throw-away lines, off-hand comments, and things characters ''didn't'' say.
Setting and descriptions can also contains subtext. An example of subtext in canon are the twin beds in Spock and Kirk's room in the episode, "City on the Edge of Forever." One is covered with equipment, and the other looks slept in, causing some fans to speculate on their sleeping situation.
