Dr. Carolyn Bridgemohan global leading expert on Autism passed away on August 16th. Dr. Bridgemohan was a dedicated physician at Boston Childrens Hospital, and her passion inspired both of her daughters to pursue careers in medicine. Carolyn started out as one of the first full time faculty in Developmental-Behavioral pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital and went on to become the co-director of the Autism Spectrum Center.
She served on many boards, authored and reviewed numerous medical publications, lectured globally as a leading expert on Autism, and taught over 1,000 students at Harvard Medical School who now will continue to forward the field she championed. She will be dearly missed by her colleagues and patients.
