An autobiography is generally considered to be a detailed account of an entire life to date in chronological order starting at birth.
So you can only write one autobiography and it might have a title like "My life story".
A memoir is different from an autobiography. A memoir is generally considered to be a single story from your life.
A collection of stories from your life are memoirs.
So, you can choose to write your memoirs as an autobiography - or you can choose to write a single memoir or a collection of memoirs.
For example, your could write a memoir (one story) called "Growing up in Liverpool in the 1950s"
Or you could write several memoirs and publish them together as a collection of several stories from in your life.
The individual memoirs could be organised in chapters, for example, Chapter 1 "Growing up in Liverpool in the1950s", Chapter 2 - "Fishing trips in the Mersey River."
Famous people generally write an autobiography with the intention of selling many books. They will often use the services of a "ghostwriter." A ghostwriter is a professional writer who writes the autobiography in someone elses name.
Ghostwriters are not cheap, so most people would probably only consider a ghostwriter if they expected to sell enough copies of their memoirs to recuperate the cost of a ghostwriter and the publication costs.
Of course you don't have to be famous to use a ghostwriter and if you are considering a book that will be on sale to the public, then a ghostwriter service is absolutely a valid option.
