Yes - they will ask you about it. The recruitment process is fairly indepth - be prepared for quite a few long interviews where they will bring up extra curricular activities. However as far as the affect it will have, they cannot drop your application for an activity such as that - it's discrimination and against the law. 

 

As far as the whole process, know what you're getting yourself in for. And also, they may turn around and say no and to go get more life experience.

I imagine it would be something you have to be careful with. You hear of civil servants getting in trouble all the time now over Tweets that aren't breaking the law but are considered politically incorrect.

 

It would probably restrict you voicing certain opinions you might have, but shouldn't affect you getting the job in the first place.

As long as your not shouting profanities and making racist slurs. You dont want to be the guy that triggers some sort of suicide or organized crime and then it all comes back on the police force.

To be honest, I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. I don't want to be mean and shoot you down in flames but if the medical process is anything like it is for DFR, you might have some issues with ADHD. 

My ADHD is very very small case its not like a really big issue basically to counteract it i just bounce my leg up and down
