IT IS. you can understand someone and they still have disorganized speech.

let me show you this.

Possible Signs And Symptoms Of A Thought Disorder
Thanks for this. I never knew other people had some of these issues or that there was even any name for them.

I have blocked speech a lot. I don't forget what was said but it's like I forget that there was supposed ot be more to the sentence. I've never known anyone else with this. My friends laugh it off sometimes but mostly ignore it. I didn't even know i did it till people pointed it out. At fist I thought it was just a one time thing and then I discovered I id it all the time (like multiple times a day when I have lots of social interaction). I'm still not sure I've ever seen anyone else do this. I also have flight of ideas. When I do I don't realize it's happening until someone asks how did you get to there? And then I can go through this giant train of thought and connect the two but how my brain automatically went from one end of the train to the other, I have no idea. The only other one i have I think is pressured speech. I will usually stop if a person interupts me and it only happens when I feel really strongly about a topic or am very upset or anxious about it.

Does anyone else here suffer from any of these? Since it's on the net I'm assuming other people do, I've just never met any of them.
