I have very few childhood memories.
I have nerve damage in my head that affects my long-term memories....so very little remains.

How did this happen?

I can remember loads of stuff, right back to when I was about 3, and can recall the memories easily.  I have an extremely vivid recollection of places, and can recall most places that had any significance to me in full 3D colour detail, which I can mentally move through, view from different angles and interact with.  My recollection of people is much more vague, and I tend to mix them up.

My house when I was nine months old.  Can describe the whole thing which freaks my relatives out because we moved when I was one.

Wow, same here, in a lot of ways.
I have extremely detailed picture memory, but I would call it 4D, since I can move through them in time and space, like re-living them. I guess I was fortunate in that I had quite a bit less than a normal amount of people contact when I was a small child. I do associate some people with abstract emotions, though. I can never interpret the concept of kindness or do something "kind" for someone without seeing my grandmother's face in my mind. There are many emotions I associate with people from my childhood. Maybe that was the best way I could learn about abstract emotions, by personifying them, somehow.
