I remember several things from my very early childhood, but I'm too lazy now to write them down.

| I have a variety of memories from age 2 and possibly slightly earlier, when we still lived in an apartment. |

I remember that, when I had 1 and 1/2 year, I was convinced that "1 1/2 year" was less than "1 year". These mean that:
- I have memories until 1 1/2 years
- when I had 1 1/2 years, I did not have memories of having 1 year
I also know that I have no memories before 17 mounths: I was born in an european family living in Africa, and my parents returned to Europe when I had 17 mounths. But all my memories are from Europe. |

Probably my very earliest memory was of my mom strapping me into the car seat when I was around 2 years old, going to a doctor's appointment. After that, I remember being in our pool when I was about 3. My earliest vivid, yet gross and embarrassing memory, was when I was 4 - I had just taken a big dump in my diaper, and my dad had to change me. Awkward.  Pretty much after that point in time, I can remember small little things as if they've just happened.

| I don't know how old I was at the time, but my earliest memory was from the time I had just started drawing and eating cold cereal with a spoon (it was either Cheerios or Fruit Loops...some kind of circular cereal). I was using my left hand each time, but my mother made me switch to my right hand saying something like, "Wouldn't it be easier this way?" I don't know if I was verbal at the time. |

| My first memory is from the age of 18 months, a powerful emotional one. I have several memories from the year I was 2. |

| I have memories of just about every time I was in front of a mirror at age two or three, then nothing until I am eight or nine. |

I am wondering if it is due to the rapid brain growth experienced by those on the autism spectrum causing the memory part of our brain to develop earlier. |
I'm not sure what causes it, but my earliest memory is from when I was either 1 or 1 and a half years old. I was sitting infront of the TV watching a kids show. I turned around to see my mum run into the kitchen and duck as my dad threw a beer bottle at her.
No one else that I know remembers anything from before they started school.

My memories go back to when I was 2, or slightly earlier perhaps. I started reading the alphabet and recognising a few words on flashcards before I was 2, and memorised all my storybooks around that time.
My memory of my brother's first birthday is pretty clear, I was 3 years and 10 months old then. He stuck his finger in the single candle on his birthday cake, and cried terribly when it burned, and after that I jumped to reach a balloon and smashed my head open on a metal leg of a bed. (It was rather normal for me to get stitches on my head when I was little!)

I remember breast feeding and having my diaper changed many times.
They say memories don't go that far back. I disagree. |

Memories are made of this... topic
Like many here, I have an early memory. At 18 months I crawled into a laundry basket that had some clean stuff (I hope) in it and I fell asleep. Someone took a photo. I do not remember the photo obviously (I was asleep) but I do remember crawling into the basket. Kids.
What we remember when very small is random and rare, and it is amazing that there is a memory at all.

I have one memory from before the age of one. After about 4, I don't remember much of my childhood. I was a case of child abuse, so I would prefer not to remember most of it. Sadly, I have had some of the memories of the past coming back to me, and it is not very pleasant when it does happen.
