Theresa’s Twists is a non-profit business founded for the purpose and mission of empowering  and employing persons with Asperger’s Syndrome to become productive, employable persons and future assets to organizations, companies and businesses.

 

Theresa’s Twists is founded on the belief and core value that all persons are of equal worth and great value. We hope to be able to educate society that persons experiencing Asperger’s are wonderful people who can contribute great things to our lives, our communities and world. Our goal is to educate people about Asperger’s and breakdown misunderstanding and stereotypes.

 

We want to demonstrate that persons with Asperger’s are very dedicated, qualified and employable persons, who can be tremendous assets to organizations, companies and businesses. Our vision is to provide a pro-active environment for individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome a safe place of employment; to use the workplace for socialization training; to give employees a place of employment that fosters relationships; to empower employees

 

The challenge with people on the (autism) spectrum is social interaction. People look at persons who struggle with Asperger’s Syndrome and say, ‘Be more social.’ Well, we can’t.” It is one of the most difficult struggles persons with Asperger’s Syndrome face. We can learn to cope and adapt, but for many it will be a life long struggle.

 

Theresa’s Twists has a dream to give job opportunities to young adults struggling with these social deficits . We hope to offer job training, family support, and the developing of social skills for employees that will help them gain future employment.
