Look into Reactive Attachment Disorder. Reactive Attachment Disorder is a complex psychiatric illness that can affect young children. It is characterized by serious problems in emotional attachments to others and usually presents by age 5. Most children with this disorder have had severe problems or disruptions in their early relationships. Many have been physically or emotionally abused or neglected. Some have experienced inadequate care in an institutional setting or other out-of-home placement (for example a hospital, residential program, foster care or orphanage). Others have had multiple or traumatic losses or changes in their primary caregiver.
Due to their difficulties with attachment, children may also be overly or inappropriately social or familiar with strangers. The child has repeatedly lost attachment figures or has had multiple caregivers and has never had the chance to develop a continuous and consistent attachment to at least one caregiver. Disruption of one attachment relationship after another causes the infant to renounce attachments. The usual anxiety and concern with strangers is not present, and the infant or child superficially accepts anyone as a caregiver (as though people were interchangeable) and acts as if the relationship had been intimate and life-long.

It would have to be one of the high functioning autism spectrum disorders. The others I don't think would work as well. mild autistic disorder or asperger's disorder would work very well I think for your story.

Here's a link about someone with Asperger's Syndrome (although not a child) who claims to have been manipulated into going along with a bad idea...

"Nichols' family contends he has Asperger Syndrome, a developmental disorder that can make a sufferer especially vulnerable to manipulation and peer pressure. "

No offence meant unless I'm right but you could be a peadophile doing a bit of research! What course are you doing exactly and why do you need to know which disorders would make a kid of 10 ( your favourite age?) go off with a stranger? Highly suspect! I'm gonna chack out your other q&a and if I find anything else on this topic I think I will report you!
