[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 226684, member: 1550"] Hmmmmmmm. I don't see Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) there. I'm not a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) fan just because a kid is adopted. They tried that with us, and we just laughed. Son is so bonded to us that he had already passed something they call a "bonding assessment." If a child is bonded to you at around two years old and you leave them, they cry. Well, we were at the agency and they told hub and I to leave the room and he chased after us and screamed and banged on the door. "Mommy!!!! Mommy!!!!" He couldn't really talk, but that he said. More than they bargained for...hehe. He is 15 now and certainly NOT Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. Your son hasn't been totally, intensively evaluated since he was six, and a lot has changed since then. They get better, more accurate information as they get older. The talking non-stop about HIS topic and then getting bored when people talk about THEIR interests is common with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and he may have it, but it could be something else. I'd just take the plunge and have the 6-10 hours of testing. A good Neuro tests at least that long, and it's not just talk therapy, which is not a good way to diagnose. The bio. father has some ominous genes, and your child's behavior, as a whole, is very puzzling and way young. I'd want to know what's going on as he is getting into those dangerous teen years--and then, of course, you can't help him anymore at all once he becomes an older teen. Then if he doesn't want help you can't get it for him. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
