[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 681422, member: 11791"] Unless you KNOW exactly what you are dealing with (and that involves a lot more than just what the professionals say... with or without intensive evaluations)... it's really hard to know what to try. Things that work for developmental concerns such as Asperger's, do NOT work with attachment disordered kids. Things that work for attachment disorder do not work with Asperger's. And if you happen to have a kid with both Asperger's and some (later-acquired) attachment challenges... it gets really tough. It's 10x tougher for you, because you're "just" the step-parent. You can't actually DO anything, except under Dad's control and approval. All you can really do at this point is to educate yourself about any possible diagnosis this child might be dealing with... and then try things that work for those types of diagnoses. [/QUOTE]
