De relationship between autism den memory, specifically memory functions in relation to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), be an ongoing topic of research. ASD be a neurodevelopmental disorder wey be characterised by social communication den interaction impairments, along plus restricted den repetitive patterns of behavior. Insyd dis article, dem dey use de word autism to refer to de whole range of conditions on de autism spectrum, wich no be uncommon.[1]

Although working difficulty no be part of de diagnostic criteria give ASD, e be widely recognized say autistic individuals commonly dey exhibit specific types of memory difficulties.[2]

Autism fi affect memory in complex den varied ways, plus strengths den challenges wey dey depend on de individual. Chaw autistic people dey show strong semantic memory, wey dey excel at recalling facts, details, anaa specific areas of interest, while episodic memory—recalling personal experiences, especially social anaa emotional ones—fi be more difficult. Working memory, wich dey involve holding den manipulating information short-term (Paytin), sanso fi be weaker, particularly for verbal tasks. In contrast, visual den rote memory often be strengths, wey dey enable sam individuals to remember patterns, dates, anaa sequences plus high accuracy. Dese memory differences fi influence daily life, learning, den social interactions, buh dey vary widely across de autism spectrum.

Sam of de earliest references to de topic of autism den memory date back to de 1960s den 1970s, wen several studies appear dey propose say autism for be classified as amnesia. Wat now be diagnosed as autism be formerly diagnosed as developmental amnesia.[2] Although the views of autism as an amnesia of memory have now been rejected, there are still many studies done on the relationship between memory functions and autism.[3]
