That's kind, thank you. I'm sorry for your friend. I hope you did cope with the trauma somehow.

My elder brother is mentally challenged due to lack of oxygen when he was born. I had this idea a few years ago of how would he experience the world if he'd suddenly become healthy. How would he deal with his previous life, etc. I once mentioned my thoughts to my boss during a lunch and he told me there's already a novel about it. That's how I've discovered Flowers for Algernon.

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes is exactly about this topic.
