[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 28417, member: 393"] Bonkers, First things first - stability. If you have the luxury, wait & see if the medications makes a difference. With the PTSD (which presents in a child very much the same as ADHD), I'd rather see your difficult child on an anti anxiety medication versus a stimulant. However, I'm not a doctor. Probably a good thing. There is no way to address the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) issues until difficult children level of anxiety, his ability to trust, is addressed. Likely, he has no sense of self or permanency given his history. This will be your biggest challenge. Around here, baths & such were a non issue. Not bathing is a typical Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) tactic - pushes people away. We had to prove to the tweedles that we loved them, stinky & dirty, or not. When they understood that they started bathing again - even used soap. Rattling beads for you & your family during this difficult time. [/QUOTE]
