Is this normal for autism?

[MO6]

Is it normal for people with autism to ask the same questions again or to ask about something that has just been stated? For instance, if someone was having a conversation and they said something like “I’m going away for a week as I’m going on holiday to Greece”, and an autistic person, who perhaps didn’t register that they had already said they were going on holiday to Greece asked them later, “so you’re going to be away on holiday”?

Is that to do with mental processing or autism or something else?

The reason I ask is that I have autism and when someone speaks in long bursts, I often lose track of what they are saying and generally, when I’m having conversations with someone, my mind wanders around about different things, so I don’t catch what they are saying.

Is this normal?

Is it also normal for neurotypicals to get frustrated and saying things like, “yes, I’ve just said that”? If so, why?

Recently I've been reading up on ASD and autism mainly because I suspect DH is autistic.
He's a dreadful communicator in fact apart from short direct communication regarding what he's going to do or where he's going to go, that's about the extent of his communication.
Anyway, as I've been reading up on it I would say from what you've written that this is true this is normal for an autistic person but of course there will be many on MN who will either correct me or confirm this is true and give you more information.
All my information has come from online sources, so was interested in your thread.
