[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611225, member: 1550"] Hi. Sorry you are having a hard time, but glad you found us. I am puzzled about your son totally. It does not sound like anything really happened that would have caused Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Did he have any breaks or chaos or changes in his caregivers due to divorce or anything from infancy to now? Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) behavior is due to a break in the bond between caregivers. Sounds like the fire set off his behaviors, but have no idea why. Post traumatic stress disorder, if that's what it is, does not, as far as I know, manifest in a child suddenly acting like he has symptoms of conduct disorder. Are you sure there was no sign before then that your child was in any way differently wired? Did anything else significant maybe happen in your family near the same time as the fire, such as divorce? Has he ever seen abuse or been abused? Is his father son's bio. dad? I am also wondering what country you live in. Australia? Every country has it's own path to getting the proper evaluations and help for your child. What we do in the US is probably pretty useless for you, wherever you live. I do think you need to make very sure that your daughter is not alone with your son and that your son has an alarm on his door at night so he can't sneak out of his room without waking you in the middle of the night. You don't want him to sneak into sister's room. Has he ever acted out sexually or spoken a lot about inappropriate sexual stuff? Whatever kicked off his behaviors, he is very dangerous right now. You need to take good care of yourself and your dog and the rest of your family. Even if he behaved normally before the fire, he is acting like he has Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) now, whether he does or doesn't and is behaving as if he has no conscience. These children must be monitored 24/7. Good luck finding the cause and getting help. It sounds like more than ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to me...but he could have either of those or both on top of something bigger. [/QUOTE]
