Introducing Insight On the Spectrum

A Blog by M&J Games

Welcome to Insight On the Spectrum! I’m Marlee Aversa—founder of M&J Games, mom of two, and lifelong believer in the power of play.

M&J Games began at my kitchen table with one simple goal: to create space for connection, especially for those often left out of it.

Because inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s the starting point.

This blog is here to uplift neurodivergent voices, share expert insights, and spark ideas that bring us all closer together.

Real stories. Real support. For every step of the journey.

Our Mission at M&J Games

At M&J Games, our mission is simple: to create meaningful moments of connection through inclusive, life-size games that invite everyone to feel seen, supported, and part of the fun.

Whether it’s a family game night, a classroom activity, or a tool for fostering connection in neurodivergent spaces, we design with intention. Movement, laughter, and belonging are at the heart of everything we create.

Because when people feel safe to play, they feel safe to connect—and that’s where true growth begins.
