Open meetings are open to ANYONE. Because of the traditions, it would be most appropriate if you listened, rather than sharing, yourself. But if you hang around after the meeting, you can talk to people individually if there is someone you'd like to ask a few questions.
When you ask, though, you should probably make it clear that you understand you can't "fix" him, but you just want to understand more about the disease. I think most people would be glad to talk to you.
