Explanation:

An autobiography is a non-fiction story of a person’s life, written by the subject themselves from their own point of view. Autobiographies are a subgenre of the broader category of biographies, but a standard biography is written by someone other than its subject—most commonly a historian—whereas an autobiography is written by the subject.

The facts of a person’s life might be interpreted differently depending on who writes the biography. The person who writes the biography is called a biographer.  When the biographer is the subject, the biography is actually an autobiography.  When the biographer is someone who knew the subject personally, the biography is known as a firsthand biography.

Autobiographies are almost always written in the first-person point of view. The subject of an autobiography is I or we.  Other biographies are written in the third-person point of view. The subject of a biography is he, she, or they.  In summary, autobiographies are firsthand biographies written in the first person. Otherwise, all the rules of biographical writing apply.
