As I've aged (I am now over 60) my older memories have become much more intense and I'm remembering things I'd previously forgotten.
In fact, I feel haunted by my past and often can't stop thinking about it, especially my childhood.
I've read in the past about memory in autism being different and I'm unsure whether it's to do with this or whether this is a usual thing as people age.
I've talked to people older than me and they often talk about the past but I don't know whether this is because of mental decline, and short term memory failing.
Does anyone else experience what I have described above.
Any ideas what it might be related to?
Thanks.
