A:The
core symptoms of RAD are distorted relationships, constant control
fights, being superficially engaging/charming outside the family
and mean/hostile inside the family, and asocial tendencies (lying,
stealing, destroying). It depends on the type of RAD, but what
seems to be common to all types is the control issue. The tricky
part is that control issues can manifest themselves in many different
ways and even change over time in the same child.
