Hello everyone,
I initially got my second class medical a few years back. Later on I saw something about ADHD being disqualifying. then I found out from my Mom a few months that when I was in kindergarten which was when I was 5 or 6 that my school requested that I get tested for ADHD. So my parents took me to a psychologist for the testing. Here is the problem though I don't remember going to this psychologist since it was over 15 years ago at this point(I am now 21) and when asking my mom if the psychologist said I was diagnosed she said she does not remember and that she has no copy of a report since it was a paper report and she doesn't even know who the person was that did the testing. As far as I know I have never taken on any meds for ADHD. However my mother had accommodations made for me in school (because she is a teacher and knows how to play the system) but according to her and what I have read you don't need a diagnosis for these accommodations. Currently I am currently a CFI and the not knowing if I was diagnosed is bothering me because I am worried that if God forbid anything happens and the FAA goes looking into my old medical records that they will find something that says I was diagnosed with ADHD that I do not know about and tries to say I lied and take away my licenses. I have talked to AOPA and another medical consulting company and said i should't worry about it. Just wondering what anyone else would do in this situation.
