13Chat Transcript: continuedChat Moderator too much anticipation isn't good for *any* child
Johnsmom yes and you dont have to deal with the disappointment of them not making it.
Chat Moderator right Johnsmom
ToniD exactly...........
Johnsmom We don't tell John hardly anytime we plan something, sometimes it leaks out of the other kids but... hey we try ..and if we do tell him, we can just plan on him doing something to sabotage it for himself, so that isn't fair to him.
poppyflr I don't tell mine in case we can't do it...I remember my mom making promises and not keeping them and how mad I would get at her lying to us.
Johnsmom yes sometimes LIFE gets in the way of our FUN!!!!
ToniD do y'all see repetitive things... like if you don't answer something immediately they are in your face saying something over and over?
Johnsmom I have my 2 nieces here, and I swear they are both RAD also. the older one is 6 and mom was very sick and bedridden during pregnancy with the younger one ...and the younger one was premature and in ICU for the first month of her life.
ToniD it's not as bad with other kids that I have seen just wondering... Chey isn't as bad either
Chat Moderator well not every child is the same toni... (thank goodness!!)
Johnsmom neither one will look me in the eye, and they have several other symptoms, each different so I am thinking more of an insecurity issues
ToniD I know... I'd really have to make a trip to the pecan ranch
Chat Moderator that could be,Johnsmom
shenia what would being a sickly child have to do with RAD? And how sick? Like separation in a hospital or just allergic to everything so miserable a lot of the time?
JodyHOST long hospitalizations can cause havoc
Chat Moderator and if a baby is premature and in an incubator for any length of time - not getting any physical closeness

I have 7 kids, 6 of them adopted and 1 with undiagnosed RAD. They treat him for it but won't' make official dx. And school won't help without dx. Where do I go from here?
