    micwag,

    Your first post! Welcome to the Forum. :welcome:

    Regarding your question, the final regulations for the ADAAA indicate there are a few serious impairments/illnesses, for example blindness, deafness, cancer, diabetes, HIV, and epilepsy, that will almost always be considered disabilities. With that said, where the ADA is concerned, I recommend that you consult with qualified employment counsel before taking action.

    Hope this helps.

    Sharon
