Coast Guard and ADHD?


My son has wanted to join the Coast Guard since he was a little boy. He is medicated for ADHD - does that disqualify him for any level of service?
I am looking for answers specific to the Coast Guard.

He doesn't see a phsycologist or phsychatrist. Only did for two or three visits before he was diagnosed.
It is a stimulant not a mood altering drug.

He has to be medication free for one year. He has to document good performance at school or work during that medication-free period. Otherwise it is disqualifying for entry into all branches of the armed forces. The source below is the medical standard for this condition.

Yes, it disqualifies him. He MAY get a waiver, but it's highly unlikely. They do not want anyone who has a past of psychiatric medications or treatments of any kind, even talks with psychologists.
