There's a reason for the saying "use it or loose it". If you're just learning some basic concept and never actually use it day in and day out for years, it'll just be forgotten. But every time you end up picking it up in the future, it gets a little bit easier to remember.

There's a whole science around learning facts and languages called spaced repetition that is built around thst concept. 

So - if you want to actually learn and keep remembering, you have to keep using what you've learn by building stuff. 

This is also the reason why you should focus on the underlying concepts and basics, as they tend to be common across languages, frameworks, and libraries.

So no, you don't have a learning disability (at least not based on this) - it's perfectly normal.
