[QUOTE="buddy, post: 567570, member: 12886"] They don't need to have all of the symptoms of a disorder to have it and it is on a mild to severe spectrum. Plus if he has both Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or fasd plus attachment disorder then the impulsiveness and lack of judgement can mix things. My son does have insecure attachment and he has a brain injury and autism. Some symptoms overlap and some conflict with traditional definitions. But if a child has had inconsistent parenting with their needs not being reliably met from birth to three years then there is a chance of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and if after that time there still can be serious anger and trust issues. It doesn't really matter from your perspective, since you have no power to help him get treatment anyway. You just need to know the threat is real and you sound like you have your head on straight even through a difficult situation. I'm really sorry. Your baby is a blessing but the timing is tough I'm sure. He or she is lucky to have a mom who can put her head above her heart to protect all of the kids. I hope things are as peaceful as can be as you negotiate through this baby's life. [/QUOTE]
