The recent closure of a Blockbuster in Mission, Texas, may not have come as a surprise to most - but it proved to be deeply upsetting for the autistic son of one local family.

The 20-year-old son of Texas couple the Zunigas - who has not been named - was heartbroken when the local video-rental store closed its doors - prompting his parents to build a replica of the chain inside their home, complete with dozens of videos stored in an official Blockbuster rack, and signage from the store itself.

Overwhelmed by his older brother's reaction, Javier Zuniga, a high school senior, posted a picture of his parents' creation, as well as his brother's reaction, to Twitter.

Blockbuster comes home: The Zuniga family recently created a miniature Blockbuster video store in their home as a gift to their 20-year-old autistic son

A unique gift: The Zuniga family set up the mini video store using a wire shelf, Blockbuster signage, and plenty of videos - all of which were deeply appreciated by their son

Immediately, people began expressing their sheer joy over the Zuniga family's thoughtful gesture for their son. Now, more than 98,000 people have liked Javier's original tweet, with hundreds responding to express their newfound love for the Zuniga family.

According to Javier, it's not just Twitter that's thrilled with the mini-video store. Though Javier says his brother is non-verbal, he still responded by smiling and clapping his hands.

A handful of responses to Javier's tweet questioned the necessity of the video store, and wondered why such a thing might make a difference in this young man's life. 'Why not just get him Netflix?' asked one tweet.

As others were quick to point out, routines and familiarity can provide comfort and reassurance to someone with autism, and closure of the Blockbuster likely interfered with his routines in some way.

Brotherly love! Brother Javier posted about his parents' special gift to Twitter, which immediately ignited a reaction of pure joy from the social media community

High praise! More than 98,000 people have liked Javier's original tweet, and hundreds have replied to express their appreciation for the parents of the Zuniga family

A necessary gift: As this tweet points out, maintaining a routine can be a very important part of an autistic person's daily life

The National Autistic Society explains this tendency, saying, 'Obsessions, repetitive behavior and routines can be a source of enjoyment for autistic people and a way of coping with everyday life.'

Still, most didn't stop to question why the miniature Blockbuster display made this young man so happy - but were simply glad to see it did.

Some are even calling for Blockbuster to donate leftover merchandise to the Zuniga family.

Evidently, the Blockbuster location close to the Zuniga family was one of the final brick-and-mortar locations of the once-thriving franchise, which filed for bankruptcy in 2011.

Yet the newly-opened Blockbuster in this Mission, Texas family home might just be one location that isn't like to close any time soon.
