[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 256808, member: 1550"] I read an article that warned that autistic spectrum disorder and Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) have the same exact symptoms. Be careful. Children who were loved in my opinion need to be double checked for autistic spectrum before they jump to the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) conclusion. I've also read (a lot) that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) should not be given to any child until EVERYTHING ELSE is ruled out (and I'd get more than one opinion). It is my own personal belief that it's nonsense that just because you work and the child has loving caregivers he can still develop Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). If that were the case, every child with two working parents would have Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) because there are always inconsistencies in caregivers--I find it to be baloney (my opinion). I wouldn't buy it though. I think the label is thrown out there a lot when the doctors are at wit's end and can't come up with anything else. in my opinion get another opinion and look closely at Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). These kids also act like they don't want to be touched, make poor eye contact and can rage. But they an be helped. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) therapy for an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid would be devestating! [/QUOTE]
