Building off this, im fully capable of having 2 entirely different conversations at once.

Ive been talking to one person at work, stop mid sentence to correct the other crew, and go back to what I was saying with a small reminder.

ime they simply don’t think

It may be more extreme, but fairly often with conversations with my wife, after a while we’re like: “How did we end up at this topic” and then we can backtrack it a number of steps to see how we got at a completely different topic.

It’s kind of like clicking through Wikipedia, you open a page and a few subpages, some of those have different interesting subjects and somehow you went from pollination to ancient Mesopotamian mythology.

I think we’re both fairly “NT” but just curious.

It wasn't a carnival, it was a candy themed amusement park, and one of the stands was "make your own lolipop", and I wasn't looking, and fuck - I got stung on my tongue by a wasp.
That's probably the easiest connection for me to make if I had been part of that conversation.
It's not a "hack" per se, but at least I got lots of free icecream following. Until my parents got to thinking that ice cubes are free..

Never in my life have I had a situation with a bee. Wasps on the other hand…

It's unclear if the above comment is agreeing or disagreeing with the lower one.

No, their thoughts terminate at the natural end point and neurodivergent people’s brains do not seem to do this.

Right, it can vary but I think most people in this example would stop at thinking about how the fairgrounds were used for the rodeo.

I see it more about the level of curiosity one has, rather than a typical / atypical division.
