dismissing me for my epilepsy.it was a story that i could not disprove
due to the fact that i was accused of doing something i did not,and

seizure disorder would interfere. Assuming that I would be open just in
case there is something about it you may not be aware of. I have been
with one organization and moved around within it several times without a
problem. When there is a special event I will participate in, some of
the individuals know about my handicap and I have a blood test with a
signed note from my doctor indicating my ability to participate. I know
legally I should not require this but it permits my supervisor to be
able to have a level of confidence should someone above him raise a
question or should something happen. It keeps the piece.
