I have been reading the postings about anti-social behavior and many others. I had a thought...........
I know someone on a very maternal level (not one of my biological children) that was diagnosed with RAD, reactive attachment disorder.
Part of this disorder is the inability to actually feel emotions for themself or others. I'm going from memory and most certainly can be wrong. If my memory serves me correctly, it is generally in children that had that failure to thrive type of childhood. They just can't show any empathy for anyone, not even themselves.
I'm not saying MR had or has that. I'm just questioning that with so many disorders in the world, I think that without proper evaluation we, as sleuthers, can't say one way or another if someone has any or all of them. Am I making sense? Point is that there are bits & pieces of any disorder that we can make fit, so how do we decide if there even is one? And do we even need to decide?
I appreciate all the knowledge because I really am confused on all of the different terminology, they all seem to fit and still none of them seem to fit.
Thanks to anyone that can clear my head on this![]()
just jumping in here...I'm old & crotchety I guess, but I think today's society has too many titles/syndromes/disorders, etc and wayyyy too much medication is administered, and wayyyy too many excuses are provided for bad behavior.
