[QUOTE="losttheplot, post: 167652"] Hi Alli1 I too have a child who is 7 who was recently diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and he is my child...he has never been abused or neglected and is my child not an adopted or foster child.... I didn't agree with this disorder when it was told to me because I thought it only happened to kids who had been abused or suffered severe trauma ...The Pysch said its partly due to genetics (dad having narcissism) and just the way he was born... he wont allow himself to get close and he needs to always be in control ..I didn't get how he could have it and ODD but who am I but just the Mum.... LOL difficult child hasn't been abused etc but in his case they sat he choses not to form attachments with those closest to him but will talk and take things from strangers, he hoards food, doesn't feel pain or show empathy, wont hug me unless he wants something, breaks his and everyone else's stuff and throws it out in anger...I could go on.... ..... I read and have added that Some disorders have similar symptoms to Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). so these have to be ruled out so they get it right before they see its definitely Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)... [INDENT] ADD. Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Conduct Disorder. Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Developmental Disorder of Receptive Language. Socio-Emotional Problems. Mental Retardation. Schizophrenia. Rett's syndrome. [/INDENT][LEFT]With my difficult child I think its more than likely something else but thats me cause I like second and third and fourth opinions..... Hugs[/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
