This chapter reviews the literature on memory for autobiographical events in adults with autism spectrum disorder. It begins by addressing the importance of autobiographical memory (ABM), as well as its key characteristics, framed within a theoretical model of adult ABM. The chapter explores the distinction between episodic and semantic ABM, and the relation between the self and ABM in autism. It also reviews the research literature on ABM in autism, and the mechanisms that may underlie the distinctive pattern of recall found in adults with autism. The chapter presents a causal modelling approach to attempt to map the relations between biology, cognition, and behavior to fully understand this nature and mechanisms. Finally, the chapter presents a summary of the preliminary work that has been conducted on eyewitness memory in autistic adults, and focuses on how knowledge of ABM in autistic adults may have strong practical implications within the justice system.
