Robittybob1 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I think in New Zealand we might say "flogging a dead horse". I was surprised how often this topic comes up. What the hell did iNow mean? Lather, rinse, repeat. Dead horse continues to get beaten even worse. Here's a little demo of how it is done! Edited March 25, 2016 by Robittybob1 -1
iNow Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I meant you should consider stopping. This is beyond ridiculous. 1
Robittybob1 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I meant you should consider stopping. This is beyond ridiculous. Is that what it means. It feels like I'm flogging a dead horse with this one. It's already dead. Bye Bye. Edited March 25, 2016 by Robittybob1
Sirona Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Is that what it means. It feels like I'm flogging a dead horse with this one. It's already dead. Bye Bye. Rob, out of curiosity and with no disrespect intended, do you have Autism Spectrum Disorder? 2
Robittybob1 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Posted March 25, 2016 Rob, out of curiosity and with no disrespect intended, do you have Autism Spectrum Disorder? I've never heard of it. Is that the same as autism?
Robittybob1 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Have you heard of Google? I'm not that far behind the times! I'm 62 so don't you think it would have been picked up by now? I've just watch 2 short videos on autism and I wouldn't say I have all of those symptoms. Edited March 25, 2016 by Robittybob1
Sirona Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I've never heard of it. Is that the same as autism? I often wonder if you're being facetious or you genuinely have difficulty communicating with others; it's difficult to tell online. I'm not that far behind the times! I'm 62 so don't you think it would have been picked up by now? I've just watch 2 short videos on autism and I wouldn't say I have all of those symptoms. ASD is often misdiagnosed by professionals because it has a diverse symptom presentation, therefore I doubt watching 2 short videos is going to be a fair assessment. You also don't need to have all the symptoms. 1

You also don't need to have all the symptoms. You've had the training so you know the terms, I just call it autism. I could research it too and then I wouldn't have been able to say "I haven't heard of it", but that was my truthful response, as good as it gets with a memory like mine. So can it be fixed or do I just have to live with it? Edited March 25, 2016 by Robittybob1

You're just delaying progression in conversations when you don't do a little research of your own; you end up wasting time asking pointless questions that could have been answered with some preliminary research. It's not about honesty vs. dishonesty but coming into a discussion prepared. To answer your question in short, no it can't be cured, however, it can be managed and there are a variety of treatments available. Edited March 25, 2016 by Sirona 3

What is the name of a drug used and I'll look it up?
Sirona Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Do you mean taking pills? What is the name of a drug used and I'll look it up? I don't want to give you inaccurate information. It simply isn't feasible for me to make suggestions because I don't know anything about you. If you feel you may have ASD then you should perhaps see your General Practitioner first then get a referral to see a psychologist or psychiatrist who specialises in ASD. 1
