[QUOTE="OTE, post: 14901"] Think the above are onto something. Find someone who will walk him... remember the father on the TV show King of Queens? I'd also lower his diet. Isn't 1200 calories a day still acceptable? If he complains tell him he needs to do this or exercise, one or the other. I'll also point out that he is developmentally delayed by definition. Though chronologically he's 22 he may be closer to 16 and honestly believe that nothing can kill him. Don't know how you change that thinking, wish I could convince my kids that their high risk behaviors can have long term consequences. Any chance you can tell him to do volunteer work if he can't get a job...ie you're not providing the car if he's not out of house 40 hours a week doing something productive. And put him in the hospital where he can see 22 yr olds who are ill. [/QUOTE]
