Autobiographies in particular, I believe, tend to euhpamize or otherwise distort emotional conflicts, especially those that happen early in the author's life (when their recognition comes later on). I think emotional conflicts are one of the most influential parts of maturing and many autobiographies seem to gloss over their teens/early 20s or look back with a nostalgic lens, unless something extremely traumatic happened during that period.
