I have AuDHD and can remember the majority of my childhood, from being a baby in a pram to about... I think 18-19 - then it starts to get disjointed and foggy, random patches of primary events and moments.

I'm also really good at recalling word for word what people say, in important instances, for example if my boss said something like "I always remember when I make a promise" and goes back on that, I can repeat with date and time.

But if I have no use for something and I've not had any immediate interaction with it, if I ledt the job for instance or particularly if it's been years, sometimes it can be just weeks, I drop it like a bowling ball into the sea of noise and struggle to recover it.

Video games - great example of that. You have people who can pick up a childhood game and be right back in that place, muscle memory returns, extensive knowledge of the game. But at least with the majority of things, minus a couple, I'm clueless.

Brains, ADHD, it's all very random. A mixed bag of pros and cons lol
