A Note from our Founder
I conceived Autside after years of passively studying the yard games space as a branding professional and a yard game enthusiast. A chance lunch of tacos and beers with friends challenged me to explore the space more, but with a design focused approach. I decided I might be on to something, and couldn't shake the idea.
A few days later, I was noodling on cornhole while being entertained by my son, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I decided Autside could use play to help families and friends unplug and connect while contributing to the same play therapy that is so transformative for individuals like my son.
Autside began as an LLC creating and selling outdoor games and products designed to bring joy to everyone—especially individuals with autism and Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (IDD). From the outset, we’ve used a portion of our sales to support non-profits serving families like ours. However, I realized we could provide greater impact as a foundation and social venture, so in 2025 we established the Autside Play for All Foundation.
Today, as a social venture, Autside isn’t just about games—it’s about building inclusive communities. Through our products, and programs, and alongside our partners, we’re creating a world where everyone feels valued, empowered, and seen.
Thanks for your support.
See you Autside!
