[quote=Anonymous][quote]I also wonder though, if his behavior indicates a disability or[b] RAD[/b]. Kids who are starved for attention don't hug random strangers. What I can see is their moms saying "he's such a loving child, always hugging people. Let's hang one of those'free hugs' signs on his neck. He'll think it's neat, and it will make us look like such cool parents." (Free hugs signs are a trend amongst hippies). [/quote] That actually makes sense. One of the hallmarks of RAD is inappropriate affection toward strangers while inability to form lasting attachment to family/parents. Also, if that was 2013, he should have been about 10, right? He looks half that age. That, plus the bizarre outfit, makes me think he was not a typical kid. Usually, though, parents dealing with RAD would be working with their child to model appropriate displays of affection, not encouraging him to walk around--and crash the stage of a concert--hugging strangers, especially for such a long, tight, one-sided embrace. The performer was being nice in allowing it, but he was clearly no longer hugging back. Imagine how often that happened with people who didn't want a hug at all.[/quote]
