I am sympathetic to his anxiety issues and his concern for his mental health, but there comes a point at which he needs to either fish or cut bait.
If he wants to be a professional basketball player he is going to have to be more flexible and figure out how to overcome some of this without just shutting down and going home to pout about Houston not treating him well.
If he can't do that then he needs to find a profession that is a better fit for the issues he has.
I am sure the Rockets have within reason done what they can to try and accommodate him where they can. It is however completely unrealistic on his part to expect the team to allow him to operate under a completely different set of rules and basically do only what he wants and feels comfortable with.
He had a platform available to him that could have helped him both raise awareness to those who share his struggles and serve as an example of someone who overcame them, but he is about to throw it all away with how he is choosing to handle this. It is a shame really as I think one day he is going to regret throwing this opportunity away as he appears on the verge of doing.
