Is MS included under the ADA? I've never been sure.

We have the same laws here in Alberta too after looking into it I found out that I could really make my boss's life/business hell.

They have too accomodate us up to the point where it is almost disasterous to the business, however I was ready to retire very close to terminal burnout,or so I thought
