Is this an autism thing? Cause I have to do that a lot at work. I get interrupted a lot because I'm on a senior dev.

I usually just scroll back up until it clicks.
Having to look through my browser history and revisit pages until the thought reappears and it had nothing to do with the pages' content is certainly... something.
I'll think of something i need to look up, but opening my browser, with 25 tabs open that ill definitely get to, and seeing my last search just drives my thought away. I'll see that they do sell beans in 50lbs bags and just pop.... like I'm floating in space and they're nothing I can do. What did I want to search? What was before beans?!
I try to do that the other way around when I wake up in the middle of a dream, amazing how far back I can sometimes go
I let my mind wander off quite far sometimes, and I've done this sort of backtracking before. It's had variable results for me.
