autobiographical

/ˌˈɔdəˈbaɪəˌgræfəkəl/

/ɔtəʊbaɪəˈgræfɪkəl/

Anything autobiographical is all about you. If you tell your new class an autobiographical story, it's a true tale of your real life.

An autobiography is a person's life story, and things that have to do with that life story can be described as autobiographical. The autobiographical details in your grandmother's collection of photo albums might be your favorite parts, brief but fascinating glimpses into her life. And if you love autobiographical writing, you're a fan of memoirs. This word comes from auto-, "self," and the Greek biographia, "description of life."
