Was just a matter of Curiosity, as its been something of mind lately, as i have very vivid memories since the age of one and a half. As i have realized this isn't all that common and just wandered what everyone else s memories could date back to.

Again for interest, If after the age of 4 , what age could you remember?

AS, ASD or NT :

SEX :

AGE OF FIRST MEMORIES :

And only if you so wish, Current age:

update: I also added ASD at the request.. So please tick AS or ASD , whichever you prefer :)

I have sporadic memories of being in a stroller, knowing how to read what was on the footstand. Probably two years of age.

I remember my mother trying to feed me whitefish in a high chair.

I remember the smell of vomit. I remember having a bath in a sink and being deathly afraid for some reason.

I remember being constantly afraid all the time.

I remember listening to Four Seasons songs--as an infant/toddler.

I remember running into an apartment we just moved into: Age 3.

Why have you separated Asperger's syndrome from ASD? :o

Very Interesting, as i could remember the smells feelings and thoughts as well! I did want to incorporate all that in here also, but thought it would be too much! Seems interesting so far! :)

Only because some people seem to like to use AS, ASD or both :)

It's fixed. :mrgreen:

Well I don't really have memories before the age of 4, no faces, no "movies", just some snapshots of my old home, but I wanna talk about my memories from when I was 4 if you don't mind.
We moved when I was 4, and that's the time where I start to remember things more vividly. I remember being the first time in our now kitchen, putting my arms on the cool table. I could put my arms on that table at 90 degrees angle. I remember the lights being reflected on the table. It was soothing.

Another thing I remember is when we got out TV, when the delivery guys carried it into the living room.
...Yeah. That's it. :D

AS, ASD or NT : ASD

SEX : Other

AGE OF FIRST MEMORIES : I can remember looking upwards at a square multicoloured window surrounded by darkness from a laying position, and a relative told me it was the laundry door to her old house, and I must have been barely two because that house burned down not long after. I can also remember playing in a yard with tall pines, and again, the same relative told me I must have been 3 because she moved out of there soon after. I can also remember the bubbled glass windows from my preschool, age 3.
My memory is atypical though, as I can recall things clear as day from early childhood, but also can't remember whole years of my life afterwards.

And only if you so wish, Current age: 29
