Just a sanity check here but… yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they’ve forgotten a thing you talked about… until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?

Yeah that happens to me a fair bit.
The other one I found myself in, is that something they say reminds me of A, and I think it would be funny if B, so I jump to conclusion C, and then try to make a joke about D, completely skipping past and not even mentioning everything that transpired in my head that lead to E.
When i try to describe my train of thought that led to the funny thing it often takes too long to keep any kind of momentum and everything falls flat…
This happens with me and my on-the-autism-spectrum friend who also does it. We somehow managed to have a lot of the same traits while being entirely differently neurodivergent.
Our conversations are very ehm… ‘dynamic’ as we have to constantly loop back to point B that got lost somewhere in the path to point E and also have you considered point M?
Nobody else can follow the train of thought.
This is me every day.
