Are Attachment Issues Real?
I spoke with a Developmental Specialist last night regarding some behaviors we are having with AJ (we scheduled a visit next week so I will keep you posted). His take on Attachment issues is that diagnoses like Reactive Attachment Disorder don’t exist. His belief is that issues like Sensory Processing, trauma, neglect, and abuse get in the way of attachment. Unless those are treated there can be no attachment.
When the underline issues are treated a child will attach.
