I found out last year that I have an autobiographical memory. I don't know about the superior part because if someone gave me a random date I don't have the ability to go on that but I do remember almost everything that has transpired in my life and in the lives of those close to me since before the age of one. I also remember my friend's schedules and pasts better than they do. When I remember a day in my past I can recall almost everything about that day from what I wore, to what, I ate and the weather. It certainly helped me in school :) I knew other people were not like this but I didn't realize it was something rare. I have heard that people who have this memory usually also have some kind of OCD, which I do. Many people say they are envious of this kind of memory. But although it can come in handy it is exhausting!

Now, since I wrote this comment 6 years ago it's been interesting and sad. I became very sick and I lost a lot of my memory for over 3 years. For the first time I experienced what it was not to have a superior autobiographical memory. I used to wish I didn't have it sometimes because it was exhausting but without it I wasn't me. Thankfully I've gotten better and most of my memory has come back. It's not quite as sharp but there are times where I feel physical pain as a forgotten memory pushes itself back into my mind. It's like my brain lives in a constant state of confliction because it feels like all of the memories are still there but something is blocking them and they're trying to come to the surface as effortlessly as they once did. A lot of people are like "Big deal. You remember more than most people ever will!" but as I said it feels sad because I lost something that I always had, never asked for but my brain is always looking for it.

I have something kinda like this. I can't remember where I was on a certain date, or facts and trivia. But I can remember my surrounding from everywhere I've ever been since I was about 6 or 7. If I see something visual I remember. The layout of a room, where things sit in the room. People in pictures on the wall; what they are wearing. Colors of things, what they are. I can't remember when I was there, but I remember it in great detail. I thought everyone thought that way up until a year ago.

The offer is $60,000 the family says "That's an insult" and "NO DEAL"

If you have it to the extent they do, it could be sort of a curse. I have it (don't remember which days of the week always, don't recall what I wore or ate on a given date, but my family noticed my ability years ago. And so did friends. I know other people who have it to some extent, some more than others. They will always mention dates of events, as I do. It can be fun and also come in handy. I just had an instance today where I said "You told me this date a year ago, now you're saying something different." I was able to retrieve an email she sent and prove I was right about the date. That's always satisfying because people come to know they can't argue with you about when, or even what, happened.

Wow it hurt my heart to hear that they believe autism presents the same in everyone when literally everyone has a different experience with it. I can tie my shoes and I’m autistic. I can mask my traits until I get home and sometimes have a meltdown in the privacy and comfort of my own apartment with my boyfriend. Behaviorism isn’t the only part that is important when addressing autism. There are so many thoughts behind each and every action. Everyone is unique.

Hummm the tech guys at work said that our PC's might crash because of the date, "9/9/99".... aside from that I don't recall watching the news much.

I think they passively archive input/information while organizing them according to dates. I think its like watching a really great movie while a timer is on the bottom left of the screen and at the end of it being able to recall what happened and around what time it happened, effortlessly. And then watching a movie everyday of their lives since the first time it happened. I have a similar ability but it is not in terms of memory.

I would like to know why CBS edited this video. It is not the same video aired on 60 Minutes Dec. 19, 2010. For example, in the section of this video where they are asked one question about the earthquake in San Francisco, there were actually at least five questions given about specific events. I know because I was able to answer the correct date on all the questions--the same as these people did. Back in 2010, they did not refer to it as HSAM. They added the HIghly for some reason. I guess they don't yet understand that this ability is on a continuum, with people like me who recall dates of events--dates that are significant to me. I don't recall what I ate or what I wore. That's not important to me and it would drive me nuts if I did.
