Specific question regarding ADD/ADHD
Hi,
As you can see I'm posting in the 'wannabe' forum and am new. I am an aspiring pilot.
I would like to know: Will an actual diagnosis of ADHD be in itself a disqualification to pass a medical test in order to become a pilot?
I will be having a diagnostic assessment soon to determine as to whether I have ADHD (which I know that I have) but please note that my potential ADHD diagnosis is lacking in the hyperactive side ie. Technically I have ADD but that diagnosis has been scrapped and is no longer accepted by mental health proffessionals, instead ADD has sadly been replaced as 'ADHD' which can be extremely misleading for people who are ignorant or who do not know anything about the disorder.
Additionally, I also have high-functioning autism, yet am a very capable person.
Clear, up-to-date, practical answers AND advice would be very much appreciated!
Thank you so much
