[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 291428, member: 1233"] You need to write down what you observed on the visits, and the behavior at home in the evening and the next day. There will be a lot of things to record. I suggest trying to take a few minutes every day to write an email to yourself with how things happened. Posts here are not kept forever, but if you post here about things that happen you can cut and paste the post into an email and send it to yourself. When you go through your email you can simply put these all into a folder and print it out when you need it. I agree with Terry - No unsupervised visits. I would limit the visits with the grandparents, esp if he keeps regressing after each visit. I do NOT agree that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is likely. Many times things can seem like Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) but they are not. Many kids on the autistic spectrum are mistakenly diagnosed with this. It was considered for my son because he had the horrific experience of waking up during a urinary operation. He certainly was traumatized, but he was NOT thrown into Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). It is likely that he may have an attachment disorder, but Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is the most severe and only a tiny fraction of children develop it. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) should only be considered after EVERYTHING else is ruled out. Give D a hug for me. It sounds like the grandma was really putting pressure on him. Maybe in a day or two he will remember why he lashed out at Gma. Just don't pressure him about it. [/QUOTE]
