I don't think I'm applying for a SI. I never had an issue with hyperactivity and I know that I'm not dyslexic. What happened was I went in to get my Class 2 in April. It got deferred and then I received a denial letter. However, the letter had a list of psychiatric tests I needed to get done for reconsideration. Now the AME I am working with said there is no SI for ADD, because, apparently, the FAA has no way of controlling whether or not you take your medicine on the day of the accident. So I got the testing done and I am going to re-apply with him this coming Friday. He said he should be able to call the agency and be able to grant me my medical the day of the exam. Basically, if I get my medical, I just want to make sure that I won't have to go through this whole mess again when I have to get my medical for ATC. My only other question is that if the tests show that I was, in fact, misdiagnosed, for my next medical, would I still need to put a check in the "Mental disorders" field on the 8500 form?

Best Regards,
Robert
