[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 98427, member: 1550"] I agree with Janna. I trust myself to diagnose my kids more than the school district. I don't even like them involved with the mental health of my kids--at least in the two school districts we were at the psycologists were embarrassingly lacking in knowledge. I would go to a private neuropsychologist. Try to get a referral or check your insurance. in my opinion THAT would be well worth it. He has a few "fuzzy" diagnosis. I'd want them confirmed by a neuropsychologist and/or Psychiatrist. His family history also indicates a high risk for bipolar disorder. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is only supposed to be diagnosed after EVERYTHING else has been tried and ruled out. It's sort of a last resort diagnosis. Unfortunately, almost all kids who are adopted who act out get labeled with this disorder in my opinion WAY too quickly. I'd want a complete evaluation before I did anything else. Sorry the hospital was so useless. They can only keep our kids for a few days so we don't get the services we might get if our insurance did a better job for us. Hugs and prayers to you. [/QUOTE]
