Bryna Siegel

For its in-depth profile of Bryna Siegel, PhD, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, "There's no BS about Bryna Siegel, the forceful, straight-shooting and passionate head of UCSF's autism clinic at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute. Like the children whose mysterious world she navigates, Siegel prefers to march to the beat of her own drummer."

Siegel, an expert on autism, is the author of four books on parenting; a fifth, Getting the Best for Your Child with Autism, is due out this month.
