RAD question
Hello everyone! We have potentially been matched again and full disclosure is Monday. The child's cw told us he has Aperger's and has also been diagnosed RAD. However, he is not physically agressive and is bonded with the cw and fm. He definately has Asperger's. The cw disagrees with the RAD diagnosis. So....from what I've read on the net, autism must be eliminated to diagnose RAD. Is that true, or could he have RAD as well? He does not live in a therapeutic group home or attend a structured behaviors class room, he goes to a classroom for autism and other learning disabilities. I'm just confused for seeing RAD and Asperger's together. Is it possible it was two different psychiatrists? Any help is much appreciated as we will be making a decision to move forward or not next week.
