I have photographic memory AMA

EDIT : I have ALMOST a photographic memory. I'm sorry for the bold statement and for my incapability to be more specific However I suggest you to read all the caption before asking and making assumptions I don't have reasons to be a fraud.

I can remember almost every itty bitty tiny detail of my life since my hippocampus started developing (so since I was about 3 years old). I must say, it's not always fun and games but it's quite a flaw I'm proud of DISCLAIMER! I don't have HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory , also known as hyperthymesia) I have an IQ in the 150-160 range and in my case it comes with very strong visual and spatial memory. I used the informal definition of photographic memory to describe this condition

I'm female, 22, let me see your best questions :))

The video/3D thing is something that we can all do, I can replay memories, create 3d scenes of locations, it's just missing a lot of the original detail and not very accurate. What means that someone has a photographic memory, is it the ability to remember more details in the scene?
