I didn't know I had it, and one has trouble believing it. Was diagnosed by a professional. OCD must have had a role.
What does this mean? I can recall events to a precise day in intricate detail from decades ago, I know where a phrase is on a page of a book, where a cartoon image is in a comic, every TV show/movie line, who said/did what on an actual date, multiplication tables, everything in pictures, nursery school -- since age 3. I recall my first flight, and what I did on that 737 as a very small child.
What benefits? None thus far. I just have photos and 'movies' in me.
Recalling events of the past week is far more difficult, which is why I have a private journal. But ask me about 1993 day on day, you got it.
