I'm worried about my oldest

I'm worried about my oldest

Gavin's having a rough day. He's spent almost the entire day in his room running intense missions. The reason I bring this up is because while Gavin's schizophrenic, he's also Autistic and is very much a creator of habit.

He has very specific routines that he follows and if they get disrupted, he is not a happy camper.

Routine disruption can be challenging for people with Autism, and Gavin is not exception.

So far today, Gavin has ignored most of his routine in lieu of managing a crisis in the Universe he's transported to when he walks through his bedroom door. He's very much on edge and not wanting to tell us anything about it.

I'm a little worried because, on any other day, we literally can't get him to stop telling us about these things.

Why is today different?
