Aaron's symptoms of holding the same pose for hours and maintaining any pose he is put into, regardless of how unnatural it may seem, are indicative of catatonic schizophrenia. This subtype is characterized by abnormalities in movement and behavior, including catatonia, which can manifest as immobility or excessive, purposeless movement.
