@dstebbin Wow, that's so awesome. You couldn't have been fired for being a miserable son of a bitch could you? To many people use their disability as a crutch, no pun intended.

If someone gets a job with tourettes, the symptoms being unable to concentrate or understand properly, what would the boss do to help?

@electrogeek77 How's this:
Ask for an accommodation.
If you don't get it... and get fired, harassed, or loose a promotion because of lack of accommodation, just sue their ass off.
That's what I'm doing!

Diabetes *can be* a disability if it's significant enough to substantially limit one or more of a person's major life activities. With very few exceptions, no specific medical condition can be declared A Disability or Not A Disability under US civil rights law -- it depends on how a condition affects the individual person.

Heck I wish we had those kind of ads in Canada as well! I am being forced back to a job I got discriminated in when disability was supposed to get me into a job that was understanding of my limitations .. but I guess I shouldn't complain. At least I can go back since that job has a union (only unionized job I ever had and why they can't get rid of me lol). But I really want to work and only reason they have to work with me is the union or I would be screwed in Canada :(
A disability is a condition that hinders normal bodily function. So, yes, diabetes IS a disability.

I wish we had those kinds of ads here in the states. I've lost a few jobs because of my disabilities, and it's difficult to ask for simple accomodation.
