[QUOTE="buddy, post: 560778, member: 12886"] Being able to hide it from the outside world is a symptom....it can be their survival technique and why people who are not truly trained in Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) can hurt more than help. They buy into it. I had a student adopted from Russia to a single dad once. He was in grade K and had some behavior at school and he had only been in the USA for less than a year. From the description of home life, in a child study meeting I suggested we consider Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and having extra outside support to learn and help. The psychologist and social worker said he can't have attachment disorder. THEY saw that when dad came to visit school the boy ran over and sat on his lap. OH, ok, then....I guess its not. (duh, clearly they had not even read one thing about it) So, I ...without trying to put htem on the defensive said, oh, since I was looking for X I found this interesting thing on Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and kept giving them info. They never got it. It was sickening. and it hurts the kids in the long run because they learned to manipulate to survive long ago. (at least that is what they felt without consciously knowing it) and until they have all that power taken away there is no chance. For many there is no real answer but to house and supervise them but for some there is hope of improvement at least to some degree. IF people who really treat Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) are on board. We have a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) treatment center here...they are not easy to find. Do you have anything like that around you? You might want to call adoption resources because many kids with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) are from adoptive situations so they often have more knowledge (depends on the organization of course...but post adoption services often do know about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)). Here is one in the usa that maybe has contacts in other states....just to use as a resource...I'm not saying it is a place to go to or anything, just a place to ask questions.....[URL]http://www.familyattachment.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
