[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 131990, member: 1550"] I've thought, by your description of this child, that he sounded like a spectrum kid. BEWARE that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) looks like autistic spectrum disorder and is often diagnosed when the child is autistic. Autistic kids don't make good eye contact, don't like to be held, and certainly have attachment problems as far as relating to people in a "typical" way. I'm glad you have a diagnosis. and hope you can now get the right type of interventions in school and in the community. They can really help! It's totally up to your discretion and knowledge of your child, but I'd not worry about that attachment diagnosis at this time. [/QUOTE]
