I know it is hard, but, believe it or not, it is part of the disease. Try to see if he will just do one thing every couple of hours, like brushing his teeth. Then washing his face, then showering. You have no idea how difficult this becomes. It's almost the way you feel when you come upon something so dirty that you are loathe to clean it and instead leave it alone. Washing your face can come to seem like a monumental task. See what he likes to do and try making that contingent on his being clean. The more he faces and does it, the easier it should get, but it's important that you realize how difficult this is for him. It's hard to explain, but it's similar to what I explained above. He isn't trying to offend you, I'll bet. Caring About Your Family billieJ
