What does the name mean??
No, we don't sell puzzles. Well not in the sense you may be thinking anyway.
The name of the store is in honor of our son, who has autism. Autism is represented by a puzzle piece defining the complexity of this brain disorder.
“Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.” (Autism Society NC)
You’ll find that we are dedicated to educating our community about autism; the myths, the facts and the fun! Because so much of what we do is wrapped in our son’s needs, we can talk autism all day and look forward to every opportunity to do so.

The Puzzle Piece will offer their disabled son the opportunity to experience his own independence. While taking on duties in the store, this will allow him to interact with the community and gain important skills and knowledge that will increase his independence while building his self-confidence.
