superior autobiographic memory

A great documentary about people with superior autobiographic memory:

“Do you remember every movie you’ve ever seen?”
- “Sure!”
“And you remember when lots of television shows started?”
- “Anything.”
“60 minutes?”
- “Tuesday September 24th ’68, the first Sunday show was September 19th, ’71.”

And they are not simply one-trick ponies – knowing what weekday was at a given date, or television shows. They remember nearly everything they did and that happened to them in their lives, down to the age of about 10.

“It really makes you wonder why we aren’t the normal ones, but they are. I mean, they can remember barely anything.”

(The six subjects that have been studied so far are not autistic.)
