[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 503087, member: 1550"] Well, I will disagree. It is useless to go through attachment therapy if there are no attachment problems and attachment disorder looks a lot like autism (we were told all this at Mayo). I think it's becoming overdiagnosed. There is a difference between being sad that you do not know your birthmother, once you are old enough to understand, and to be unable to attach to people. I like the advice I was given: If t here is sufficient cause to suspect attachment disorder, still look for everything else first. If Father or grandma was there to nurther and love child in early years, there is no reason to suspect attachment disorder. My unattached kids were obviously unattached. But they lived in chaotic situations for, respectively, six years (orphanage life) and eleven years (foster care). The latter child lived with five different families before coming to ours. So...just posting again for those who lurk and may think, "OMG! I got divorced! Must be attachment disorder!" Can cause a lot of guilt. [/QUOTE]
