Nonetheless, the study reports,<p><a href="http://www.asatonline.org/suggreading/reviews/elder.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.asatonline.org/suggreading/reviews/elder.htm</a><p>"even after being informed of these disappointing results, some parents opted to keep their child on the GfCf diet."<p>Patient human interaction with autistic children does seem to be helpful, and my cheers to anyone who is providing that.
