"To Beat A Dead Horse" Do you?

Recommended Posts

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!

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? :)

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.

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.

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.
