Can you imagine what would happen if she were in an operating room performing a vasectomy on you and her "attention disorder" caused her to snip the wrong thing?
Yeah, but she is planning to be a researcher.
That's like, "This deaf guy is planning to be an airplane mechanic, but can you imagine if he were flying the plane and he couldn't hear messages on the headphones and crashed the plane??"
I still don't know enough to decide what I think about this case. On the one hand, I can't stand to see the ADA weakened by being used for trivial reasons. On the other hand, I can't stand to see a backlash against the ADA, which is often a lifesaver for people with disabilities.
