Rad

Usually, only a qualified attachment therapist can very accurately diagnose an attachment disorder or RAD. It is very common for RAD children to appear 'normal' in attachment at various times. They learn to acclimate to the situation at hand, if they don't feel pressed to attach at all. This is why some RAD children can seem 'quite lovely and well-behaved' while in school, but can literally be tearing the doors from the hinges and raging at home'. It's also why some people 'on the outside' have a hard time realizing that a particular child actually is a horror to live with. Find an attachment therapist. As time goes on, if s/he has real attachment issues, 'they' will---very often--NOT get better on their own. I would highly recommend an excellent website for resources and a very good forum of other parents of attachment disorders and RAD. This is the Attachment Disorder Support Group homepage: [url=http://adsg.syix.com/]Attachment Disorder Support Group[/url] This is a vast and extremely helpful website for anyone with these disorders. Good luck.... Sincerely, Linny
