I have also been with the In laws for almost a full week and I think I have lost my mind!<BR/>I have asked her therapist about RAD and the answer is no. I only know about the chameleon comment because I was working in that clinic at the time, before I had even met her. One day she is the worlds sweetest child, the next day she is Damians twin sister. I just want to find something I can do something about, ya know?The Accidental Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409271721074309249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-18128615568444706312008-11-04T16:00:00.000-06:002008-11-04T16:00:00.000-06:00You know, RAD is very rare in the general populati...You know, RAD is very rare in the general population, but has a much, much higher prevalency in children who are adopted. ESPECIALLY a child who has been in an orphanage and had a disrupted adoption. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't diagnose her based on one scenario as I'm sure you wouldn't, but I wouldn't overlook the possibility of her having it. A child can even "get" it or develop it from having recurring ear infections, for heaven's sake. With all your daughter has been through, I'd be surprised if she DIDN'T have it.<BR/><BR/>We've done therapy for it, overcome it, and survived it, so you let me know what I can do to help.Roar About Public Educationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00919674869866635875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-23801745853140392582008-11-03T23:51:00.000-06:002008-11-03T23:51:00.000-06:00wow RAD is alway in the back of you mind i think i...wow RAD is alway in the back of you mind i think if you've adopted and read about it. But i think it's meant to be quite rare. I am guessing that her therapist would have picked up on it if she did have it, right? I suspect it was just the completion thing. Let hope so. You can ask her therapist what she things, that might help you sleep better. Also if she does have it you'll want to know right away so you can work on it right? Bless her little heart. Try not to stress too much about it either way, you will get through it.Paula Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631062531121247914noreply@blogger.com
