Of course you don\u2019t. But Rebecca Sharrock does, because the 27-year-old from Brisbane has got something called Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It\u2019s a condition that stops people from being able to forget anything, and it\u2019s thought that only around 60\u201380 people in the world have it. As a result, Rebecca is able to recall every part of her life in vivid detail, whether it be the dreams she had at eighteen months old or being photographed in a car just 12 days after her birth!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents carried me to the driver\u2019s seat of the car (my father\u2019s idea) and placed me down upon it for a photo,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/omni.media\/i-can-remember-back-to-when-i-was-a-newborn-child\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">wrote<\/a> in a recent blog post. \u201cAs a newborn child I was curious as to what the seat cover and steering wheel above me were. Though at that age I hadn\u2019t yet developed the ability to want to get up and explore what such curious objects could be.\u201d As if this isn\u2019t impressive enough, she can even recite the entire collection of Harry Potter books! She\u2019s also currently writing her own book about her experiences, called My Life is a Puzzle, and it sounds as if the contents are going to be very memorable indeed.
