It sounds like your daughter is just a very outgoing person. She is very extroverted and will love being around crowds of people, the more the better. My daughter, (actaully both of my daughters) are the same way, my son is more like me, an introvert.) Anyway, I used to worry about RAD with my adopted daughter but I do not anymore, I do however question the whole food issue with her.
Why do some kids do this? She does it all the time. She will mooch food from anyone who has it. (especially sugar)And she knows that we do not approve of this behavior so she will sneak around doing it. At family gatherings she eats until she gets a stomach ache. She is not fat and she is very active.
Her bmom was a diabetic (came on in childhood) so this behavior of hers concerns me. I was once told by her SW when she was in Foster Care that this behavior has come from going without food, even though she can't remember going hungry, those awful memories are still frozen in her mind somewhere. (I am not sure how reliable this theory is). Her older brother lived with us for awhile and he was big on stealing and hiding food. But ,he can remember all the times he went hungry.
