He's had it for at least a year. The disease gets progressively worse with time, and eventually causes patients to lose the ability to swallow or breathe. Doctors can probably give him a good estimate of time left based on symptom progression. From wiki: "The average survival from onset to death is two to four years, though this can vary.[5][16] About 10% survive longer than 10 years" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis
