Can anybody point me to an accident report that states the cause as the pilot having a diagnosis of ADHD or ASD?
Also, if anyone has contacts that are psychologists I would be very interested on their take on the use of this form for a layman (flying instructor) to evaluate someone for a condition that CASA consider as so dangerous that they must never be allowed to take control of an aircraft..
I also have a theory that many of the diagnoses are a form of Munchausen's by proxy, just from my own observations and coming from a family where some members would make Sheldon Cooper look neurotypical but don't have a label stuck on them.
