Yes! This is DS. He will bring things up that happened years ago, even. Forbid we should accidentally touch upon a trigger-word that reminds him of an old "beef" he hasn't yet resolved. I've done a mental kick in my pants for those slip-ups.
A little light at the end of the tunnel: though still a work in progress, it has become easier with increasing maturity.

This is totally my DS as well. He will be thinking of something at bedtime, and will pick up right where he left off the next morning. We try not to talk for the last 20 minutes before he goes to sleep. Helps him wind down for bedtime.
