Jim,

I should have continued. Should an offer be extended:
1) get it in writing
2) then, you can discuss accomodations for your medical condition

Until an offer is extended, your have no protection under ADA for a 'hidden' disability. You would simply be removed from consideration (especially true in a management position) as an applicant.

But before even interviewling, your current neuro and you should be on the same wavelength as to whether or not you are considered to have a medical disability. If your neuro does not recognize your medical condition as a disability -- then you would not be protected by ADA under any circumstances. And if you are considered disabled by your neuro, does he/she feel you should apply for SS disability?
