Description
#### Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Add some images to the Media Library, be sure to add an alt text for each one
2. Create a new page or post and add the Slideshow block with the same images from step 1
3. Enable "Autoplay" on the Slideshow block settings. Publish.
4. Visit the published page or post and enable VoiceOver.
#### What I expected
For each slide to be described when I put my focus on the Slideshow using VoiceOver
#### What happened instead
VoiceOver automatically focuses on each slide even when you hadn't selected the slider. This is a bit frustrating since it will interrupt when you are navigating through other items on the same page or posts.
**Video**
In this video you'll notice I'm at the top of the page, I haven't started navigating down just yet and VoiceOver is reading the alternative text for each image in the slideshow as the autoplay runs:
