Thank you everyone. I guess we'll know more when we read the mountain of paperwork. What we've been told so far is that the fm disagrees with RAD also. She says he gives hugs and his face lights up when he sees her, even though he's not cuddly. He's been there 2 years with her. The RAD diagnosis was before Asperger's and by two different docs. The child never lies, and is called "honest to a fault". He'll tell people they are large or ugly and not know why everyone gets upset. He has problems with changes in routines but makes eye contact. He follows the rules and insists the consequences stay the same every time. He's never been physically agressive but has "meltdowns" when things are unexpected and out of routine. If he's prepared in advance, it doesn't happen. He doesn't steal food because he knows it's against the rules, and he's a stickler for the rules. This is about all we know. The cw has been with him 2 years also, and I guess took a special liking to him. They started out with handshakes and moved into hugs. The cw said he now hugs him tight and sometimes doesn't want to let go. Anyway, I appreciate all the advice. I guess they can exist together and we should look for "red flags". Can anyone tell me what the most obvious flags would be??? Thank you!!
