Getting the ADA accommodations you need can be very difficult. I was a professor and requested 3 accommodations - no early morning classes, no out of town classes and one online class if I was qualified to teach it. The first semester back from a leave of absence they broke every accommodation and I didn't feel like I had any recourse. I ended up going back on leave.

Another story. When I came back from the first leave they made me sign a statement that I would not disclose my diagnosis or symptoms to any faculty, staff, or students. They said I couldn't come back to work unless I signed it. Definitely discrimination. I signed the statement and went back to work.
