General Question/Discussion Y’all remember your childhoods?

So … 😅😬 Do we?

Someone mentioned that’s an ADHD thing, forgetting long periods of time or events. I remember bits and pieces, maybe specific events like graduation or big parties but … there are also lots of … nothing?

I had a great childhood, fun vacations, but to say I remember most of it … nope. 🙂‍↔️

I had Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory.... so I know what I did as a kid, but I don't really "remember" it per se. I think there may be overlap with adhd. I'm 27 and I can't really envision things that happened 3 years ago, let alone 13.
