Late 30’s diagnosis for ADHD, who went to school to fly in college. Here’s my hot take:
Being barred from a pilots license is a good thing.
I look back on that time, and I’m shocked I didn’t crash the damned aircraft. I couldn’t focus when landing (executive focus disfunction), I would freak out randomly (emotional disregulation), and I gave at least one of my instructors several grey hairs when landing.
When you’re a pilot, you can’t afford to not be paying attention.
