    It’s different to that, I experience emotions and can express them in real time. However, after if I think back to a memory the emotion is there but like a line written in a book. ‘I was having fun and happy…’, but thinking about that memory will not give me a happy feeling. Talking with my wife she can re-experience the emotion when she recalls a memory.

    My memories are like lines of knowledge in a book, everything is a fact and stored as such. It makes me amazing at remembering knowledge, facts and how to do things.

    I know lots of stories about my kids as they’re growing up, and yet I cannot recall/remember what they looked like as little kids. I do recognise them most of the time in photos.
