*** Practical Tips Video: Madison and Jordan Fankhanel ***

Jordan is a 25 year old autistic young adult living in the Edmonton area, the place he has called home since he was born. Jordan is a speaker, an athlete, a dog lover, a movie lover, and he could name any dinosaur ever known to man. His favourite dinosaur is a Stegosaurus! Jordan lives with his parents, and his dog, Pearl!

Jordan grew up with a younger sister, who is not autistic. This created a very unique dynamic, one that is not talked about very often.

Madison is a 23-year old young adult living in Edmonton, Alberta. She is a research coordinator at the Autism Research Centre in Edmonton and is Jordan’s younger sister! In her free time, Maddie loves to knit, make art, read, and above all else, hang out with her dog, George Fruit Bat Jones. Maddie is also an avid mental health advocate, as someone who struggles with her own mental illnesses. And if anyone was wondering, yes Pearl and George are best friends.
