Скачать или смотреть People Assume My Memory Loss Is Trauma but It’s Actually SDAM

SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory) means I can barely remember my childhood.

Living with SDAM means I cannot mentally relive my past the way most people can.

People with SDAM experience autobiographical memory very differently from most people.

Most people can mentally revisit their lives. Birthdays, conversations, moments from years ago.

For me, those memories are mostly gone.

But the strangest part of living with SDAM isn’t the memory loss.

It’s what people assume when they hear about it.

Many people immediately conclude that childhood trauma must be the explanation.

Living with SDAM changes how people react when they hear about my memory.

That reaction reveals something interesting about how the human mind works.

When we don’t understand someone else’s inner world, we fill the gap with a story.

This video explores what it's actually like to live with SDAM and why people so often misunderstand it.
