It is a disorder: Is not part of the autism spectrum disorders .A child with reactive attachment disorder is typically neglected, abused or orphaned. Reactive attachment disorder develops because the child's basic needs for comfort, affection and nurturing aren't met and loving, caring attachments with others are never established. www.mayoclinic.com/health/reactive-attachment-disorder/...
