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!

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.

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?

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.

I often wonder if you're being facetious or you genuinely have difficulty communicating with others; it's difficult to tell online.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are right.
