[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 220948, member: 30"] Grrrrrrrrr! I just lost a nice response I had written. I wish I knew why that happened, and I'd do whatever I could so it didn't happen again. I took my grandson to the psychiatrist this morning and relayed to her the problems we've been having and the knowledge of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). The short version............ She was receptive and sympathetic. She explained that she agreed with the fact that he did have a lot of the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) symptoms, there are no medications to treat Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). We also have to take into account that his bio mom also displayed the same symptoms and so, have to believe this is more of a genetic thing. I agree. She did however say, that she could treat symptoms and rx'd Tenex. It is similar to clonidine and is used to treat aggression and outbursts. My difficult child took this. It's been so long ago that I don't really remember how it affected her. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that this makes a difference for him AND us! The psychiatrist did comment about the remarkable, and it truly is, change in our grandson's behavior from the first time we brought him in to now. :) Thanks ladies! [/QUOTE]
