My civilian doctor made a correlation - he used the word overlaid - between my ADHD and PTSD. This was news to me, but I researched it and found that there are indeed many, indeed mostly, identical symptoms.
I went down in my T-28 in basic flight training (engine failure) in 1973, survived (went on to get my wings) and am now revisiting some physical and emotional issues in a VA Disability claim that are rooted in that crash. It's an uphill battle in a downhill body. If there is anybody out there in the same boat that has had a similar experience with regard to ADHD and PTSD and has filed and been successful with the VA I'd like to hear from you. Keep in mind that I wasn't even diagnosed with ADHD until 1997 when I was in marriage counseling. It kind of made sense at the time, but now I am beginning to wonder if the crash exacerbated it
