Latitudes is the on-line newsletter of the excellent Association for Comprehensive NeuroTherapy, a non-profit American organisation which explores non-drug based, often nutritional, approaches to treating anxiety, autism, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, tics and Tourette syndrome, and learning disabilities. He loves other children and makes friends easily. In fact, his teachers have said that other kids tend to want to be with Eli and enjoy him as a group member or a partner.

Then they go back to playing!
