This part - autobiographical memory in HSAM - still confuses me. I’d always considered photographic memory to be about the visual, not related to a person’s life beyond the fact that they saw something once and remembered it in great detail. For example, I could go to a poetry recitation and recall a phrase or two the next day. By the end of the week, they would be forgotten unless I had written them down. OTOH, I’ve read poems in high school that I can recite by seeing the page in my mind and reading them again.
