My son had RAD and was placed with us at age 7. we accelerated right past the honeymoon stage, because he was hospitalized the first week he was with us, but I would say he started testing us immediately. We had him in attachment therapy within the first 3 months, and we are to a point now where we have relapses, but he's come a long way now. He's been with us almost 4 years at this point
