Hello,
I am on the final stretches now of receiving my Class II medical certificate. When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADD and prescribed Adderall XR. I have taken all of the steps required to get my medical including the psych. eval. I was told by a senior AME, who specializes in this sort of thing, that the only way I will be granted a medical is if the psych. evaluation shows that I don't have ADD. And he said that in the eyes of the FAA, if you are born with ADD, you have it for life. Therefore, if the tests show that I don't have ADD, it should also mean that I never had it, meaning it must have been a misdiagnosis. Now my dream has always been to become an ATC. I have a few questions concerning the ATC medical. First of all, I noticed the requirements for the ATC medical say no medical history or diagnosis of any psychosis. With the above in mind, If I pass the psych. exams, for my Class II medical, would that mean that I in fact never had a medical history of ADD? So with this in mind, how would I fill out the medical application for an ATCS medical?

Best Regards,
Robert
