Here is something I found regarding the US military's position:

In my attempts to get in, quite recently, I have received a low-level rejection. I am trying to get a waiver, and will let y'all know how it turns out.
: Does any one have any experience with recruitment to the military and this disease.
: I was diagnosed and treated as a 4 year old but have lived a very active life since I was 8 and am very fit, but am getting resistance to my application.
: thanks Ian
