[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 151265, member: 3626"] There are several shades of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). The main things to look for are a true lack of empathy, an ability to manipulate almost anyone; they can be charming as long as they get their way; a lack of understanding that others have feelings. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) frequently leads to borderline personality; can become psychotics (think Ted Bundy). They have a severe inability to attach to anyone. I would not wish Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) on my worst enemy. For BiPolar (BP), there are medications. For the austic spectrum there is behavior mod, Occupational Therapist (OT), medications. For Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), there is behavior modication and some very radical therapies that I'm not convinced work -- which rarely works. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids go far beyond general defiance -- they have it down to a fine art form. To say they are passive-aggressive is putting it mildly. My daughter's therapist never recommended the removal of things, at least not for a long time. The main reason to do it was to get her attention. Nothing else was working. Sadly, that didn't work for her, either. It ultimately took an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that did some serious behavior mod to give her a fighting chance. [/QUOTE]
