[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 133607, member: 393"] [B]My twins are both diagnosis'd with severe Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), along with complex PTSD & hx of bipolar. What that all means is it's very ugly. We couldn't even address the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) until the BiPolar (BP) & the anxiety associated with the PTSD were addressed. It's just now that kt & wm are beginning to understand the "damage" done in their early childhood. wm is diagnosis'd with disinhibited Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I can no longer tell you what that means - it will take a while to get this old brain warmed up. As wm is a danger to the family, he is currently placed in a therapeutic group home with a foster family running it. We are a family of different addresses. He is a challenge no matter where he is placed. He has a need to control each & every situation he is in...in any way he can. kt's Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is inhibited. Again - can't tell you the difference. However, there is a difference behavior wise. Both of my children have very iffy prognosis's. They are 13 & need 24/7 supervision. I expect wm will need a supervised group home most of his life. kt is iffy at best right now. I'd love to recommend books & treatments for you. There are books with wonderful nurturing ideas & such, but I disagree with the treatment options - in fact, some of the treatments have been outlawed in many states. The bottom line is that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) should be diagnosis'd after everything else has been ruled out. And remember there is a spectrum - from attachment issues to full blown Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Good luck & keep us updated. [/B] [/QUOTE]
