How? You're reading it because it interests you, so you will likely never forget it.

(Not the person you originally replied to) I forget things no matter how important or interesting they are to me, I have to make serious efforts to remember most things.

I thought this was somewhat common in the neurodiverse "specialist"/hyperfokus part. My bad.

I think that’s more common for autism. My brother is autistic and that characteristic is very true for the things he is interested in. While there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD, there are some big differences as well.
