Advice please (adhd diagnosis)
My 17 y/o son was diagnosed with adhd in maybe 3rd grade. He was medicated until around a year ago. He is doing well in school, work, sports, etc off the medication. Anyway, we learned this summer that his adhd diagnosis and having been medicated previously could prevent him from being a pilot.
We are located in South Carolina. What should our first steps be? Do we hire a hims ame for a consult? then testing?
Should we start collecting medical records now? He is interested in attending a university with for an aviation degree next fall after he graduates but we don’t want him to start a program he can’t complete if he isn’t elegible to be a pilot.
Anyone have any advice or recommendations to share?
Thanks in advance for any help or input you can offer.
