Many people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are remarkably
proficient at remembering how things look and sound, even years
after an event. They are also good at rote learning and
establishing habits and routines. Some even have encyclopaedic
memories. However, all individuals with ASD have difficulty in
recalling personal memories and reliving experiences, and less able
people may have additional difficulty in memorising facts. This
book assembles research on memory in autism to examine why this
happens and the effects it has on people's lives. The contributors
utilise advances in the understanding of normal memory systems and
their breakdown as frameworks for analysing the neuropsychology and
neurobiology of memory in autism. The unique patterning of memory
functions across the spectrum illuminates difficulties with sense
of self, emotion processing, mental time travel, language and
learning, providing a window into the nature and causes of autism
itself.
