The case study stated that Abe remembers how to drive a car but cannot remember the incident itself. That could be Abe going through "repression" (Coon,Mitterer & Martini, 2019, p 247).

In the case study Abe's therapist stated that his mother always told him that he wasn't good enough. His mother's parenting style is most likely a permissive neglectful parent (Coon,Mitterer & Martini, 2019).

Abe is color blind. According to Coon, Mitterer ,and Martini(2019)  it is reasonable to presume that Abe has color weakness ;perhaps the car that he hit was one of the colors of his color weakness spectrum.

In the accident the temporal lobe of Abe's brain could have been damaged which could be a reason for Abe not being able to remember information from more than a few seconds after the accident.
According to research It could be argued that a lack of memory recall for parts of a journey might branch from a failure to encode information when performing highly automatized tasks. According to surveys of the self-reported accidents roughly one third of people apparently forget their road accidents each year.

Because of Abe's car accident he had to adapt neurally. His brain had to rewire information in order to adapt to the loss of a limb.

According to Coon, Mitterer, and Martini (2019) “the human brain is capable of rewiring and changing to adapt to a new or changing environment.” (p. 54)
