[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 55435, member: 1550"] We had a foster child who we had to hold. He hated it. I wouldn't call it abusive, but he almost beat me up...lol. In the end, (most of you know the story--won't go into it now) this child went to another family after we adopted him. He is doing great and has no diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I think many attachment experts see a kid who acts out and was in foster care and jump on Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). This kid, in his new home, is doing great and, according to his adoptive mom, is very attached to his family. I believe it. I never thought he had Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) symptoms. He HAD been sexually abused and didn't like being touched without his permission. I don't know what's controversial and what isn't. I believe the DSM says everything else should be ruled out before a diagnosis. of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) should be made. I think that's a good idea. Then you do your homework to see what you want and don't want for your child. I certainly KNOW Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) exists. We had a kid with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)--it wasn't pretty. In his case, he was so severe I don't think anything could have helped him. He was way too far gone. But he'd been in five foster homes. Anyways, just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
