[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 696888, member: 11791"] Are you aware of Reactive Attachment Disorder? With his list of diagnoses and behaviors... as a parent (not a professional), I'd be thinking more along that line rather than the "laundry list" of other diagnoses. It's often missed as a diagnosis. And is often found in kids who had a rough first three years. Those are the years when we learn to form attachments to others, and learn things like trust and love. If they don't learn it early, it seems it is very difficult to learn it later. I haven't had to deal directly with this diagnosis, but did end up researching it along with dozens of others when trying to get answers for my own kid. He may need intensive residential care for the rest of his growing up. If you have no other children who could be at risk), and want to stay involved as parents, that might still be possible depending on the system where you are. [/QUOTE]
