Eidetic Memory A very small number of autistic people
display talents similar to eidetic memory but
this is very rare. Specialists doubt the
existence of truly photographic memory in
people with normal abilities in all other areas.
Some people do have exceptional memories
and there are ways to help people to
remember huge amounts of information
(more on that later).
