I recently went for an interview where the application form asked: "Do you consider yourself to have a disability?". I answered No, because I feel that my PD is not hurting the way I do my job at this time. Things could change in the future, but I really do not consider myself to be disabled. I don't know if that's positive thinking or denial. :-) Brian On Thu, 17 Jul 1997 10:43:41 -0400 "B.Bruce Anderson" <[log in to unmask]> writes: >Charlie, I recently completed a application form which had as a >question > General Condition of Health_______________. >Is this illegal accoding to ADA?
