This thread is bonkers. Does OP really think that treatment is optional for some people?!? Are they willing to let their kids suffer for 18 years on the off-chance that they might want to go into the military? Who on earth would care about that professional path more than the well-being of their child?!?

My ADHD/ASD son was called this summer by a military recruiter who had all his basic info and knew he was going to college. Apparently he was trying to recruit him by offering financing options. The conversation ended when he asked whether DS had ever taken medications for ADHD. The recruiter was very polite, DS was very polite, and now DS is very happy in college, paid for by me. DS would NEVER have been able to attend the college he is attending had it not been for years of services, accommodations and MEDICATIONS.

Get your kids the help they need. End of story.

Not end of story.

First, recruiters lie. They have quotas to meet. They don’t care if the recruit is later DQ’d.

Second,  it’s hardly as simple as you claim.  A kid just starting out can easily derail .mil or classified positions In numerous ways.

OPs point is:  your medical records are NOT private for .gov employees.  You waive all your privacy rights when you sign the SF-86, including medical / HIPPA rights.

Don’t like it? Then don’t work for .gov[/quote]
