Jai At Play exists to change how Autism is understood, viewed, interacted with, and taught, especially for autistic children and families who have been historically overlooked or excluded from traditional Autism-related resources and conversations. We are a proudly neurodivergent-owned, mother-son business dedicated to creating inclusive, accessible, relatable, and affirming resources and programs, and to redefining Autism education for young learners.

Our mission began when my son Jaiden was diagnosed with Autism in 2014. I was told all the things he might never do, including talk or work a “normal” job. But I refused to let that define his future. I created a business with his name in it and his face in our logo so he’d never have to prove his worth to work for someone else. When I couldn’t find resources that reflected our experiences or that he could relate to, I created them.

From our Autism Through The Alphabet Flashcards and Coloring Book to our one-week program, staff trainings, author visits, and community events, each offering is designed to reflect real stories, diverse identities, and everyday experiences. Whether it’s parents beginning their Autism journey, educators seeking better ways to support autistic students, or community leaders working to build more inclusive spaces, we offer meaningful, practical, and effective support. Our work strengthens social-emotional learning and helps autistic children build self-awareness and positive self-identities, while fostering empathy and kindness among their peers through creative, engaging resources that deepen Autism understanding.

We’re not here to “fix” or get rid of Autism. We’re here to challenge harmful narratives and outdated, clinical approaches and help build a more inclusive world that embraces, celebrates, and supports autistic children for who they are.
