Just a comment on the "honest to a fault." My RAD child (now approching his 1 year anniversary in RTC and no hope of discharge) used to walk up to fat people, look up, smile charmingly and say "fat boy!" or "fat girl!" Could have been interpreted as honest, but it was not, it was simply his way of pushing those people's buttons. Of course, that was far less bothersome than the fire setting and pet killing. Only tantrums were described in his records, though one psychiatrist had dxd him with suspected RAD, the last one to see him pre adopt did not agree.
