I’ve worked with many children over the years with attachment disorder. It can sometimes get misdiagnosed as ADHD or Asperger’s syndrome. The core principles are that the disruption in the early years of their lives (be it abuse, neglect or instability) have a huge impact on their development and can cause anxiety, anger, social difficulties, hyperactivity etc. It’s irreversible as you can’t change the past, but with the right support and guidance, they learn to live around it.

Thanks Sam, brilliant insight as always. Keep em’ coming!

Cheers Sam. Brilliant again. Childhood anxiety numbed with booze is all too familiar. Stable great family but anxiety can creep up on us from anywhere.
