    Discrimination?

    Sorry You need to get this straight, the Ada does not cover the hiring of disabled people in this industry because it is a federally regulated activity and the Ada along with other federal laws have exemptions to those employers within the limitations of the federal regulated activity.

    This means that there are things that if you have, you can not drive, one is a psychological aspect of your problem what will prevent people from hiring you because of the risk involved. If you are in disability, which means you can't have gainful employment, you will not get hired in this industry.

    If you are on disability this will be brought up sometime to some one, especially if you are taking meds, and the problem that you pose a higher than normal risk, this comes from the problem of stability with severity inhibited ADHD people.

    So if an employer tells you they won't hire you, you can't sue them or file a complaint under the Ada it will be tossed.

    Here's how smart some parents are; in China there's a new toy being sold that's a miniature crossbow. Can hide it in your hand and it shoots toothpicks. The toothpicks will penetrate a paper cup. The sweet children are using nails instead of toothpicks and blinding each other. These toys haven't been banned yet.

    All that was left was Big Baller Brand shoes. LaVar Ball was there trying to give them away, but no one would take them.
