Someone will be along to help you.

Hello do20,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups!

I'm not sure that I can answer your question because it's not something I would have thought of as being good or bad... if that makes sense.

I would imagine though, that someone who did have a working visual memory and then lost it due to trauma or other health reason would find it very difficult compared with someone such as yourself who has not had a working visual memory since birth.

Great to meet you!!
 

thanks for your answer and we'll come
 

Hi to all again,
I tried to find any article about my inability to have visuaul memory probably since I born, and all I found was about visual memory lost usually by accident ori insufficient visual memory, nothing like I have.
I have to mention that I'm not suffer at all from my condition I just want to understand wat I have and maybe way.

Thank you all again

Hi again do20,
The best person to help you with information regarding your own situation would be your doctor or perhaps even your family who might have medical records from when you were born or very young.

I had a look around some medical journals and found mostly what you mention in your post regarding lost visual memory due to accidents or other health issues.

There were a couple of articles that didn't actually relate to your situation, but one was regarding congential blindness and visual memory (this basically was showing the positive effects or differences that blindness can have on memory) and the other was regarding visual memory-deficit amnesia.
