ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Kerri and Luisa dig into how ADHD and autism shape the way we form, store, and retrieve memories and why some of us remember the exact texture of a carpet from 1994 but not what we had for breakfast, why so many childhood memories arrive as feelings or sensations rather than scenes, and what it means to look back at your childhood and suddenly understand it differently.
They get into the way masking can leave gaps in your autobiographical record and why journaling might be doing more neurological heavy lifting than you'd expect.
Plus: Inside Out, Series of Unfortunate Events, Bügelperlen beads, and the surprisingly emotional experience of finally having language for who you've always been.

This week we sat down with the best of intentions: recommend a book each. Simple, right? Reader, it was not simple. Picking just one book turned out to be its own whole thing, and what followed was less a polished recommendation list and more a live, unfiltered demonstration of what it's actually l…
