[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761568, member: 23706"] Nomad, I don't know what any of our kids are as far as diagnosis, but one thing is certain. The professionals failed them and us. Our pediatrician insisted Kay would outgrow her behaviors and catch up academically with her peers. Also Kay had to be carried by three if us to go to therapy and when with any therapist she went mute. Not one psychologist told us what could probably be wrong with her by her exaggerated facial expressions to them or her strange grunting noises she would make or by hiding in corners face to the wall while in their office. I don't think they wanted to deal with such a difficult child. They casually mentioned stuff like ADHD and autism but only offered pills. Kay would vomit up the pills. Nobody mentioned reactive attachment disorder so we were reading books on ADHD and autism. Both fit a.little, but clearly there was more. Kay couldn't be put into a car or taken to therapy by age 12. She was big. So that ended that The best help she got was at a therapeutic boarding school but once she was released it all went down the tubes. I am not sure to this day what is wrong with Kay but we both think Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and maybe fetal alcohol effects. How could.nobody tell us about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)? Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids are not nice. Kay is not nice nor is she ever happy. Her only friend has ever been Lee. She is disconnected from everyone else. Everyone. Our kids all have their issues but do we ever even know what they are? Do the doctors know? Pfffft. I noticed a new post on the General Forum that is about another very disturbed adopted child. Mom doesn't seem to know the problem either. One thing I learned. I don't think it's us at all. I think these kids are different due to other reasons. All of them were treated well by us. I think they came to us with serious Letting Hod handle whatever is the problem is comforting. And acceptance came.late to me, but now that we have acceptance, it helps too. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
