[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 446536, member: 1550"] Did your sister drink/party/take drugs while she was pregnant with your son? If so, be careful...he may have fetal alcohol affects, which greatly affect behavior (and is not his fault...it's your sister's fault). It is organic brain damage of varying degrees due to alcohol pre-birth. Another thing I'd look at is reactive attachment disorder. It's very common among kids with extremely chaotic early years, especially adopted kids. These kids puzzle us because the more we love them, the worse they act. They are literally afraid of love because they don't understand it as they had learned very early on, sometimes in infancy, that there is only one person they can really count on: Themselves. Here are links regarding both fetal alcohol affects and Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) (reactive attachment disorder). It sounds like there is a lot more going on than ADHD. If you hooked up with parents who adopted older kids, they can probably really relate and help you. OK, here are the links: [URL]http://www.helpguide.org/articles/secure-attachment/attachment-issues-and-reactive-attachment-disorders.htm[/URL] (attachment disorder link) [URL]http://www.samhsa.gov/fetal-alcohol-spectrum-disorders-fasd-center[/URL] (fetal alcohol spectrum link) [/QUOTE]
