Oh yes adults can too. I was very luck and learned a lot of info before my BP onset. I did an internship in college and worked with Americans With Disabilities Act. I learned so much about accommodations. Reasonable accommodations can be requested and must be completed. In my case i had a stupid person that half did their job. i had requested the same accommodation a week prior and had no problem. My triggers were going off like rockets on the forth of July.
