My daughter has severe RAD, but we were told that she had mild attachment issues when she was placed. In hindsight, it was very evident right away. She tested us from the start. She tried to turn our world upside down. We just thought it was her adjusting to us. We had experience dealing with mentally ill children, so her behavior wasn't too bizarre to us, but we could see something was "different". There was no attachment to us at all. She would gladly go home with anyone and not look back once. She never grieved past relationships. They didn't matter to her.
She was 6 when she came to live with us, and now at age 12 there is still very little (if any) attachment.
