So basically RAD is a rare attachment disorder thats caused by being in an unstable environment at birth (ex: going through multiple foster homes) and/or not being able to attach properly to your birth parents at birth (ex: my mom was a young teen so i rarely got to see her and when i was 4 she passed away from a drug od. My father abandoned me before i was even born).

People with RAD often have difficulty forming healthy attachments/relationships

There are two parts, kinda like ADHD and ADD. I'm a mix of both. Usually children are diagnosed at 6 but because the disorder is rare (in my lifetime ive only met 1 other person with it), it's therefore sometimes misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. I was diagnosed at age 11 or 12 because my grandparents had gone to my newest therapist with concerns for my safety because i had been walking up to strangers, specifically males, and asking them things like "will you be my new dad?", "marry me!", "can i come home with you?", etc. which is an exact criterion of RAD
