Nancy, thanks for posting symptoms. Any idea HOW to find a therapist with speciality in AttDis in ADULT adoptee? My med plan psychs treat my son for the symptoms, which are the "common" ones (for AD patients) of anxiety and depression. But who helps the root causes, helps them learn adaptive behaviors, helps them find reasons to hope for a better life? I've run out of ideas! worriedparent

RAD in an adult is borderline personality disorder. An adult has to want to be treated and most adults with this disorder will not participate in therapy. However, if your son truly wants to get better, find a therapist that fully understands personality disorder.

Is what they call "puddling" part of this? Our Fd matches maybe half of these, and people her keep referring me to Attatchment disorders. She seriously has peeing issues that are unbelievable.

Depends on the reason for the peeing. If its done for control, thats a RAD behavior.
