[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 504834, member: 1550"] Hi. I would have him assessed by a neuropsychologist for fetal alcohol spectrum. He probably has all of the thnigs he was diagnosed with, but, in the end, if she drank while pregnant he probably has some sort of organic brain damage from the alcohol. There is almost no way to take drugs and drink while pregnant yet have a "normal" child. It is child abuse in the womb. If he is alcohol affected this would explain why the drugs are not working well...there isn't a lot you can give that help kids on the fetal alcohol spectrum. Do you think he understands right from wrong? Unfortunately, lack of a conscience is not only a symptom of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), but fetal alcohol spectrum. Fetal alcohol kids can have swiss cheese thinking in which they remember something one day and forget it the very next. Many adults with it end up in jail, but don't understand why they got there and do the same thing as soon as they get out. They require a lot of supervision their whole lives long so that they can stay out of trouble. I'm surprised no doctor brought up the liklihood that his birthmother's pregnancy drug use/alcohol use may be a big factor here. Fetal alcohol kids, even those who do not have the entire spectrum, tend to be extremely ADHD and emotionally liable and are very hard to raise and it is NOT parenting. Anyone who says that to you does not understand either Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) or drug/alcohol related issues in children. We adopted a child who was drug/alcohol affected. I would do the neuropsychologist evaluation. [/QUOTE]
