[QUOTE="ksm, post: 472852, member: 12511"] Thanks guys!I think we are on to something with the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) ideas. The therapists has never really brought that up as a possible issue. We were always grandma and grandpa to her, and it was a good fit then. But about a year after becoming legal mom/dad the behaviors started. The therapist made it sound like a good issue... that we had been in a honeymoon phase, but now that she was sure that we were going to be there, she felt safe to not "act happy" all the time and could show us her other feelings. She was always the type that I considered "outgoing and social". If we were waiting in a doctor's lobby, she would grab a book and climb up on a strangers (usually male) lap and ask him to read to her. Even at 9 and 10 she was clinging to other people. We finally got her to understand social boundaries and it is better now. Yesterday, I got copies of some testing that had been done 4 years ago when we were concerned with ADD. They did quite a few tests and afterwards we were told ADD and anxiety. Well, when I got the copies, many of the tests showed other deficits. Things I had never really heard about until this list... like deficit in the executive function, some audio and visual problems with memory. I would retype things... but don't have time this morning. I hope the neuropsychologist will explain those things to me - it even listed ODD and Dysthymic Disorder - something no one had even mentioned to us before! Wish us luck today! Hoping they can help my beautiful teenager... I talked to her last night and asked if there was one thing that she though was the main problem, it was "I wish these rages would just stop. The last one was so bad it even scared me." KSM [/QUOTE]
