Can they fire me or reduce my hours for what I said or am I covered under the American's with Disabilities Act since I've been diagnosed with PTSD and experience hyperarousal and an exaggerated startle response.
I think the act requires your employer to cooperate with allowing you a reasonable accomodation that enables you to function on the job. What accomodation do you think your employer could provide you? You do understand, I hope, that your employer can't allow you to hit people, even if that is due to an involuntary reflex.
