"Wiz"
Got some good news when I spoke to the FAA today. Based apparently on
the letter from my primary physician that the ADD diagnosis did not
exist in 1965,

That is awesome! ...sometimes the good guy wins.

But, your experience has shown how broken parts of the system are. You
mentioned the protocol for a battery of tests the FAA wanted performed by a
psychologist or psychiatrist for a diagnosis of ADD which include an IQ
test, Rorschach (inkblot) test and depression screening.

Does the FAA think that ADD is a form of mental retardation? I wonder if
they would be surprised to find out that ADD has no relationship to IQ. It
makes you wonder how they come up with this stuff.
