Class 1 Medical and ADD

Since first gaining my CPL and Class 1 medical about 20 years ago, I have been diagnosed with (Adult) Attention Deficit Disorder. I do take medication (Dex) but it is not essential. This is a genetically carried condition, meaning I had it when I successfully met all knowledge and flying requirements (& renewals) for a CPL. Because I'd not been flying for about 10 years and my medical had lapsed, the DAME filled out the forms as an initial issue. Guess what? CASA don't want to grant my medical, despite the precedent. Any advice out there? I'm about to respond with Medical (Psychiatrist) reports etc. but I reckon this could be the beginning of a long bureaucratic battle.
