We first heard Katy Franklin’s story about her son Alex’s autism two years ago. We learned about his diagnosis and the issues that developed for him and the issues Katy encountered with “the system” while advocating for her son. Now we have a two year check-in. Alex has completed the third grade and Katy has encountered a few more hassles with the School District. We hear what this nationally known advocate for special needs children has experienced in “ The sun will shine brighter.”
