Thanks for this. He has been sending me really helpful Internet
website, giving me books, purchasing books, etc. I've met his doctors,
he's given me full access to all of his medical records - he really
can't do much more than that. And again - we talk and talk and talk
and talk. Any questions I have, he answers to the best that he can. If
I ask anything that causes triggers in him, he tells me. Anything that
we do that may trigger him, he tells me either during or before. We
talk alot.

We will add the book you've suggested to our reading material, thanks.
...and I will continue reading the archive here.
