And the lazy sods at CASA just pick it up paraphrase it and apply it to grown ups (if you can call pilots adults). This is just disgusting. What next CASA? Hemorrhoid surveys you want that part checked for dangers to air safety?
Same questions.

And get this; AVMED may have just latched on to the latest money making medical fad, like sleep Apnoea and RSI....remember the RSI epidemic??????

ADHD/ASD and CASA medicals has wording which is practically identical to the wording on the CDC website.
https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html Note these are the symptoms for diagnosing ADHD in
children.
Not really that interesting until you are directed to another website that provides the symptoms for diagnosing ADHD in
adults (defined as 17 years or older)
https://chadd.org/for-adults/diagnos...dhd-in-adults/ which has wording which is along similar lines however probably more appropriate for Form 420.
