I have this problem constantly (another reason online interaction is great).

But, I suspect this a condition universal to all humans. It is a widely documented experience.
Also... some of the wittiest come-backs I ever heard sprang from the mouths of autistics.


I think other people have it, but not as often as we do. Partially because, as someone else mentioned, we aren't able to craft a response and listen at the same time, so it takes us longer to reply than it would take a NT who probably only experiences this when they are surprised ans truly at a loss for words.
