Michael is used to a routine. So when something happens that he doesn't expect he gets upset. Also when he has an expectation, like doing something fun, and it doesn't happen he tends to melt down. I'm hoping that he gets into a new routine of staying at home. The staff is trying to occupy him and another consumer with games, organizing, and stuff like that. Maybe Michael will eventually like the new routine. I am trying to set him up with zoom. There are organizations that serve people with disabilities that are setting up zoom so these individuals can meet up. People like Michael really rely on Special Olympics and similar programs to have a life worth living.
