The YouTube video(s) I linked to in my post
above will answer your questions. But basically, yes, Clive is said to be unique and there are (apparently) no other cases with amnesia as severe as what he “suffers” from.
The good thing is that Clive isn't really suffering any more now that he is in the right conditions and he, as well as other people, have learnt to work around the condition. I'm sure it's not pleasant, but at least he's still living a relatively decent life (ie. he's not just a complete vegetable, incapable of functioning whatsoever).
