#and donnie has been tested but then the doctor said he was probably autistic and mama said HOW FCKING DARE YOU

[tangledinink]

not to mention having to adjust to living with their siblings! I'm autistic and having people moving in/out of my space is a routine NIGHTMARE and I suspect Donnie won't even really attribute this to autism (if he's even diagnosed) so constantly getting stressed and frustrated and burnt out seemingly for no reason /nf

Oh lord yes. Living with this new family unit is gonna be a HUGE adjustment for everyone involved, and the Twins may have a particular challenge in that they are used to having SO much space! They both have huge master bedrooms and a whole floor to themselves, and like, sure, a lot of the 'privacy' they enjoyed was superficial and performative, but like... they didn't really have to care about being a 'good housemate' to anyone! It was just the pair of them and an entire hotel staff there to cater to their every whim!

And everyone involved is gonna be so fucking stressed out as a BASELINE. Donnie and Leo are in a new enviornment, they've left behind their mother, they're both going through significant health challenges, they have to SHARE THEIR SPACE for the first time ever and '''be considerate of others''' or whatever the fuck, plus they're trying to adjust to not having schedules or scripts or an audience or adoring fans?!?! AND THERE'S NO POOL?????
