My ds seemed to have an eidetic memory when he was very young. I am not sure if he really did and it faded a bit as he aged, or if what seemed like an eidetic memory was his visual thinking style. He can describe how he thinks now that he's older and it's all about pictures and movies in his mind. And he still has a few quirky things going on such as never using bookmarks, closing his books when he stops reading, yet being able to open up to exactly where he left off. I've asked him if he remembers what page # he's on and he says no, he recognizes the words on the page. And he definitely still has a very sharp memory and will resell in great detail things that happened or that he read long long long ago.... It's just not as obvious now that he's older and more of his own personality and choosing what he wants to share rather than a small toddler that is all out-there and usually in the presence of a parent
