[QUOTE="Janna, post: 246096, member: 2737"] MWM, Remember, couple of years ago, B was given an Attachment Disorder diagnosis, and we were like WTH? LOL! And, remember you and I were talking about SO's boy last week, and how we really thought he had alot of Spectrum criteria? Talking to in home therapist last weekend, she said he really fit Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) much more so than Autism. I'm doing a little research, just out of curiousity (I really have no energy to help SO with his son, it is what it is, and I can't help). I can tell you though - B, as well as SO's boy, share common factors. They can be left alone for hours at a time with no worry about involvement. Neither care to be held, touched, rubbed, hugged. Neither want kisses or displays of affection. And both have serious issues with things like materialistic goods (i.e. hoarding and overstocking on things like video games - buying, buying, buying with no purpose to the purchase - just to blow money). These are just a couple of things off the top of my head. It's just so interesting how when in home therapist was seeing SO's kid and we were talking about Spectrum stuff, she went straight to Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) (alot has to do with bio mom, who he lives with too). Made me wonder how many similarities Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) has to Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. [/QUOTE]
