Sometimes while conversating with others, I will have thoughts about a topic that has already been discussed minutes or even hours ago and then suddenly reintroduce my thought about that already finished topic.
Does that happen to any of you?
Why do you think that happens?

yes.
I say it because I remember the thought and think of something new to the topic.

Yes. But I do not reintroduce the thought into the conversations. I pick up this thread later and build a conversation in my head and try to think how it would have gone if I had said it earlier.

^^
That happens, too. I just rethink the situation in my head and that's it. But sometimes, I add this new information since I think, talking anything in a conversation is a plus.

I hate it when that happens...I usually think of the best answers once it's too late.

Not 100% sure what you mean by 'reintroduce' the thought. Do you mean that you dwell on long-finished conversations and think of what you should have said only for it to be too late? If so, I think that is fairly normal in general but something over-analyitical aspie brains do much more than NT minds.

Sometimes I think of random things from months or years before.

I worded it wrong. I introduce a thought about an already finished topic which could reintroduce the topic (that doesn't happen but it could be a possibility).
And I mean....as an example: People are discussing food and 20 minutes later I think "I like spices alot." but they aren't discussing food anymore. Nonetheless, I will still say "You know what. I like spices alot.", anyway. I'll do that because I think it's very important, something I want others to know or I want to redirect the conservation to something that interests me more than the current topic or it's a combination of both.

But I also do the above described action (dwellings on a finished conversation).
