Autism and memory

Deleted User

What is your memory like and what do you remember best?

My earliest memories go back to me being a baby in a pram and I have a lot of quite intense childhood memories.

So, my memories go far back and I remember a lot of my life.

I'm not sure that my memory is anything special though with regard to general knowledge ie facts.

In general knowledge quizes I tend to get the obscure facts no-one else knows.

I know there are different types of memory but it's an aspect of autism I'm learning about.

Please share anything you know about the correlation between the two.

Thanks.

  • As I mentioned in another thread, I have poor episodic memory. I barely remember much of my childhood beyond a handful of core memories. I even don't remember relatively recent events or things I've done with people.

    But I have a very good memory for technical information, numbers and facts.

    I have been keeping a diary since 2014 which I am very glad about, because I use it instead of my memory now. It's an indisputable source of what happened and what I thought about it so I'll always know, even I don't remember it myself.
