[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have highly superior autobiographical memory or HSAM. It's been featured on 60 Minutes multiple times and I've been involved with a research team in California since 2011. I even flew out there for an MRI scan. The pros are that school was extremely easy in a lot of ways, as I was quickly able to memorize dates, formulas, parts of the brain, etc. I never forget friends' and family members' birthdays either! I am a teacher and my students find it fascinating and I can learn their names very quickly. The cons are that you have a stream of memories constantly running through your head that cannot be shut off. Therefore, every embarrassing and painful moment from my life stays with me like it was yesterday. Therefore, I relive my grandmother's death and the day my mom got her cancer diagnosis on an almost daily basis. It can be exhausting! [/quote] Interesting. How did you find out you have this?[/quote]
