They’ve taken these folks for generations. In the last 30 years or so, everyone gets diagnosed in school—so the schools can get more Special Ed funds. They get diagnosed, and it follows them.
My daughter was looking at the Navy. She was diagnosed by the best group working with ADD in the country. Once the Navy saw her ASVAB scores and her calculus scores….they told her they could get her a waiver.
The recruiters hounded that poor girl for more than a year. Lol.
My daughter went USMC. She had taken medication for ADHD years before but hadn’t for quite a while. Her ASVAB scores were great. She’s doing quite well and is basically the teacher’s (sergeant’s) pet, crew leader, and is almost done with her MOS and will have her first assignment in a few weeks.
As far as I’m concerned, the military is a much better choice for ADHD than universities. The way these youngsters operate, it’s easier for them to focus on hands-on tasks than book assignments for hours on end.
