How does it work?

Make a Difference

Every autistic individual and family’s journey is unique, yet many face the same challenge: resources are scattered, confusing, and hard to follow. The Guiding Light Foundation brings these resources together in one place and organizes them into clear, guided flows that meet people where they are.

We've implemented an interactive system that turns resource guides into step-by-step badge challenges. These challenges help families and individuals track their progress, unlock the right information at the right time, and move forward with confidence.

Coming Soon

A pathway for families and individuals just beginning their autism journey.

Education & School Support

Guidance for navigating classroom needs and advocacy.

Employment & Independence

Resources to support autistic individuals in the workplace and beyond.

With each badge earned, members gain not just knowledge, but a sense of achievement and belonging, transforming learning into a shared community experience.

We are always creating and sourcing new resources, and continually improving the journey we provide. If you notice something missing or have ideas for what should be included, we’d love your feedback.
