About my venture
Tomes & Brew
There are many different types of Autism. Some Autistic's are considered high functioning who need minimal support, then there are those who need a lot of support. My son is a level 2 Autistic and needs substantial support. What this means is that he needs a guardian for certain things and needs help with other things. One of the things my son needs help with is finding a job where he would feel comfortable in his surroundings and with the people he would be working with. So, I have been trying to find a way to help him in this area and decided that maybe I could start my own business. This way he would know who he would be working for and where. Then I got to thinking, maybe I could do the same for others like him. I have a nephew with Asperger’s and he has trouble with the interview process of the job application, like many others with Autism Spectrum Disorder. So, I want to start a business with these types of people as employees. I would like to open a used bookstore/coffee shop.
