[QUOTE="LookingForPeace, post: 726418, member: 22674"] We adopted all 3 of our children as young toddlers from Russia. They had been placed in an orphanage since birth. They came home at 18, 16, 14 months of age. I have researched Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Psychologist thinks he has Anti Social Personality Disorder. We have not had a confirmed diagnosis. He exhibits both Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and ASPD characteristics. He exhibits no feelings. His response is the same if you show him picture of puppies or accident scene. His expression is the same if he opens a pair a socks or tickets to an NFL game. Zero excitement about anything. Yet, he is the life of the party with his friends. So is he faking it with them or us? You can’t have a conversation with him. He either talks non stop about what he wants to talk about or he talks over you, ignores you if it’s a topic he’s not interested in. I always thought he was oblivious to everything. I’ve come to realize he notices everything so he can plan and scheme. He has narcissistic traits. It’s just so crazy that he’s 17 and he’s making life so much harder than it needs to be. I don’t know if I can do 10 days. We will have to go back to locking everything up, encrypted passwords, locking bedroom doors, etc. He thinks he’s changed and we should all welcome him with open arms. [/QUOTE]
