Our story

About Harborlight

Autism Parent Club began around a kitchen table: sleepless nights, binder piles, phone calls on hold, small victories nobody else saw. We are not a government agency—we are relatives who wished for a gentler front door to the same hard research you are already doing.

From the same family

Harborlight is built by Chris and Becky Fry — parents raising a nonspeaking autistic son. Two other projects come from the same table:

  • Autism Parent Club — a weekly podcast covering the real experience of autism parenting. 87+ episodes, no sugarcoating, available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
  • BridgeOutlet — autism advocacy apparel. T-shirts and hoodies with acceptance messaging, built on the idea that visibility in the community matters.

What we believe

  • Disability is a natural part of human diversity—not a tragedy narrative.
  • Children deserve supports that honor autonomy, communication, and dignity.
  • Parents deserve schedules that don’t require superhuman stamina.
  • Hope is practical: a next step, a returned phone call, a nap, a correctly filed form.

How we fund the project

We will be transparent about sponsors, donations, or affiliates the moment they exist. Our editorial process is documented on the methodology page, including how we handle conflicts of interest.
