Crystal Jordan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. There, she attended Bauder College where she majored in apparel design. Her life changed though when her son Zachariah was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at the age of two. Crystal made the decision to open up and share a piece of their life to empower others who may have been afraid or ashamed to talk about ASD. She wrote Just Like You to educate people in her community and the world at large about autism.

Crystal is a passionate advocate who unapologetically uses her voice to promote autism awareness and acceptance. She created a brand, Zachariah’s World, centered around her son’s auesomeness. In Zachariah’s World, children with ASD are not forgotten, they’re embraced.
