It was be nice to know where this kid is now and how he's doing. I have heard RAD is one of the most difficult mental health disorders to get help for. I've even heard parents say that they adopted children with RAD but regretted it years later because of the constant stress placed on them from the child's behavior. This child appears to not only have good parents and a therapist but also wants to change problem behaviors. I would really love to know what worked and what didn't for him and how his quality of life is now. BTW, I don't blame him for wanting to run. I can relate to that. It would definitely be nice to run away from your problems. Unfortunately, the problems always follow. 😞
I used to work in a residential treatment facility for children with RAD. 9/10 were adopted and really struggled emotionally and behaviorally. This kiddo is very insightful, especially knowing that he needs help.
RAD is demonized by so many especially by 'behaviorial psychiatric' specialists today ... its horrible and as a child who was adopted from Russia so many of us have been alienated because of attachment hardships. All children want is to feel safe and loved no matter how hard it may be to show or express it. There is still hope.
Yeah, but when the disorder is making a child abuse everyone else in the home, frequently to the point people literally fear for their lives ... how is anyone without advanced psychology training supposed to deal with that? Is it 'demonizing' something when it's what often happens with the disorder?
DAAAAMN I have never seen a person act more like me and I just discovered this phrase. RAD. Wish therapy for kids was normalized in the 90's. Hope he's doin' ok. "You just gotta get through your life" I have never related more to the wisdom of the child. My issue was after school was over, you still just had to keep 'getting through it'. That was, and still is at times at 33, tough. It's one thing to stand on the conveyor belt of public education, another entirely to be loosed into the world and expected to be able to navigate it yourself when all you are used to is 'getting through' things, not 'going toward' anything.
I have RAD i am over 50YO. I was adopted my parent care about me and were nice people, but I liken RAD to growing up with strangers even though I was safe with them I had no connection. This part of RAD is very destructive, in society and the world of "normal" people it sets you on a pathway that separates us from normal values, like valuing family, valuing possessions, valuing community, once you dont care about these things, your life can take a destructive path. It drifts further and further away from the normal world, until critical mass lands you in an unrecoverable position. It seems that RAD is only talked about in children as if it gets better when your older or you grow out of it! For me this did not happen, it gets worse! I want to hear from adults with RAD.
I would LOVE to hear more from adults with RAD and their experiences. I would love to hear your experiences as well. I think it would be very nice and beneficial for someone with RAD to start a RUclips channel to talk about their experiences.
My younger brother had radical attachment disorder, and I can tell you he was VERY well spoken. That’s the problem 😂 makes it easier for them to manipulate. This kid seems like he really is trying tho and is doing pretty good.
Plot twist - the caregivers 9 times out of 10 are the disordered ones and the kid is made out to be a ‘forever doomed troubled kid” . This behavior is literally how any child within the foster care system or who doesn’t have stable caregivers act; coming from experience
Es muy triste. Ni siquiera sabe qué pedir de sus padres, qué esperar de ellos. Dice que sabe que le quieren pero la tristeza de su semblante habla por sí sola. Espero que haya mejorado todo desde que hizo está entrevista. Necesita mucho amor de su familia.
Hi Chris. I would very much like if you could revisit this topic in the future. It's both very interesting and prevalent in our society. It could open up a lot if dialogue for children and families dealing with this condition..I would like to see more videos on children and adults that are affected by ACE'S in the future if possible
I hope this kid has been able to make progress and become more proud of himself. It’s sad to me that he seems so down on himself. Then again, maybe that’s the first step to recognizing a problem exists and needs to be addressed. With RAD I imagine it’s hard to find a balance between encouraging a child to take ownership of his behaviors and encouraging him to still love and believe in himself.
Would love to see more interviews with kids with RAD, to echo the other comments. I'm working on getting my teaching degree and sped credentials and I'm doing my practicum work in an intensive behavior class. We have a few kids with RAD and I desperately want to know more.
I have a child with this. She is now 13 and RAD was very apparent years before diagnosis. We have been unable to bring other children into our family because the risks are too great. Luckily we are maintaining some normalcy and have lots of support from therapists and social workers. If I were a single parent I could not do it.
I think hes adapting to the particular needs of every child. If you watch the videos before this one, he acts more or less cheerful depending on who hes interviewing.

I am also adopted from Russia. I am diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder because of it.

Me, too! ❤
that doesn’t mean you have RAD, and also just because you act like him doesn’t mean anything

Yes I just realized it today. I’m 60.
I’m sorry. There is not nearly enough research on RAD. Grew up with an older brother with RAD- my mother was never the same after

He seems very straightforward and eloquent. I can tell he really wants to make it all work out. I hope he does well.

I agree.

What a sweet boy, very well spoken too.
Awww poor baby!! RAD is very interesting to me. I love child psychology.
Look up BETH THOMAS

He’s very articulate and well spoken. I think there is hope for this boy.
Would love to see an update with him if possible! Also more RAD interviews too.
Need more RAD interviews please

I wish there was more help for us
real there’s no standard treatment anywhere not even at my school
I have rad too.
Oh wow! Do you write or vlog about RAD and your life and experiences?
Same here!! Hi!
Me to , I am 51 now , got diagnosed two years ago and 45 months of therapy is what it will take to fix my head .
Me too

Chris is a lot more polished now. Here it's like being interviewed by Data from star trek.
I'd be completely comfortable being interviewed by Data tbh.
I think hes adapting to the particular needs of every child. If you watch the videos before this one, he acts more or less cheerful depending on who hes interviewing.
This seems like a way more mild case of radd none the less painful. Children usually don't recover from this as children
I have Reactive Attachment Disorder...and I'm 37 💔
I’m sorry 😞 I hope ur doing alright
more videos about RAD please!!
I'm in my 30's and I have RAD. I'm from romania too if that kinda gives a perspective point :)
I have rad as well.
he looks like eminem
It's making me super uncomfortable that the interviewer is staring him down hsjzjwk
😂😂
This is me to a t
