TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Obsessions Gift Shop held a spin art class fundraiser Sunday with the cash raised going to its non-profit Motivating People through Arts and Crafts.

Co-owner Betty Proctor told ABC 27 that she wants to help people on the spectrum through whatever difficulties they have and teach others what they go through.

"We're helping with employability skills, entrepreneurship skills leadership skills and most of all communication," said Proctor.

Obsessions Gift Shop will be holding a free art workshop for women on the spectrum on Thursday.
