An employer is not allowed to 'discriminate' against a disability by any adverse employment action like termination, demotion, etc. An employer is obligated to provide 'reasonable' accommodation of a disability upon proper notice of valid medical requirements, if it can be done without substantial burden to the company, and will allow you to still perform all the essential functions of your job. If they violate those rules, you may have a legal claim to pursue. If so, feel free to contact me for the help you'll need.
