"I believe most people don’t understand that individuals with autism are still people. Individuals with autism learn differently and develop at a slower pace, but they are still unique individuals with varied interests and personalities, just like everyone else." Cheryl Ocampo, 40, is the founder of the non-profit organization, Queens County Parents Coalition (QCPAC). QCPAC is a support network for families who have children with autism. Cheryl is the mother of three: Joshua (22), Isaiah (18), and Zariah (13). Her daughter, her youngest child, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a Behavior Intervention Specialist, Cheryl works with adults who have autism and developmental disabilities.
