Has anyone out there been able to get their aviation medical with a
previous diagnosis for ADD or ADHD? What did you have to go through to
get it? Thanks for sharing your experience!


Sometimes if you were diagnosed with something like that as a kid, you
don't remember that after being well into your adult years. I've has
some students that I'm pretty sure had ADD. There is a positive side to
it. When you are teaching them something they understand is important,
they suck up each and every word. They may be looking around the room
at pictures on the wall at the same time but they hear everything. On
the other hand if you're just wasting time, they'll tune you out pretty
quick.
