No one need to be an expert to write an autobiography. The autobiographer need to put his thoughts and events in order.
Proper autobiography begins with birth and family ancestry. The person who has is writing an autobiography is a person that many times has been pulled, forced by someone or something that he or she might have never understand it but this is what makes it interesting because many people would feel very identified and would like to know how this other person reacted to the same or similar issue. It's a win win situation, because the author is also trying to understand himself. I liked a lot this quote by Freud "I have no more made my book than my book has made me."
Autobiographies give the author the opportunity to give meaning to his past events and give shape, and sense to what someday maybe he didn't understand or where meaningless. To make yourself unique in an autobiography you have to write another story counterpoint to its own to remark the uniqueness of the author.

- Autobiography isn't a history of your life events, it is the story of a growing, changing life. Look for the change.
