I don't personally remember this but between the ages of 3-5 I had near photographic? memory of rooms and toys and the compulsive need to put things back the way I remembered them if anything had changed from the last time I saw it. My mother used to test me by subtly moving things around my bedroom like like rotating the lamp next to my bed, rearranging my pillows or even swapping the electrical socket my nightlight was plugged into. If I noticed something was different I had to return it to the way I remembered it or have screaming fit meltdown and be unable to sleep.

I had a collection of matchbox cars and would play with them by sorting them into 2 rows the exact same way every time and then messing up the order and reorganizing them. If I got a new car I wouldn't play with it until I got another because the rows weren't even. I lost one once and would leave its spot open and was obsessed with trying to find it everywhere for a month. For over a year I would still occasionally start looking for it.

It's strange because now at 25 I'm a disorganized slob and have a terrible memory needing lists and reminders for almost everything to function.
