The secretary then sued under the ADA, taking the position that her speech, as it was, was adequate for the job she held. Because there was disagreement over whether her speech met a reasonable standard, the Court allowed the case to go to trial. We believe a court would find that she was NOT disabled, since her condition had no underlying medical cause. However, she might still fall under protection of the ADA as someone perceived as being disabled. This case probably will show up again in the Court of Appeals after the trial court rules on this issue.
