Okay, here’s a general answer: It sounds like you’re currently employed and believe you’re facing discrimination or retaliation due to a disability (42 U.S.C. § 12112). You don’t have to disclose the specific disability here, but document any adverse actions (demotion, write-ups, exclusion) that occurred after your employer learned of your condition (42 U.S.C. § 12203). You have rights under the ADA and possibly state laws, depending on where you live. If you’re considering action or want guidance, speak directly with an employment attorney in your area.
