TOURETTE SYDROME AT WORK IN CALIFORNIA
If you suffer from Tourette Syndrome, do not let your employer take unlawful advantage of your disorder. Tourette's Disorder is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary body movements and vocal outbursts. The tics, or involuntary movements, can be temporarily aggravated with increased stress. While no cure exists at this point, symptoms of Tourette’s are often treated with various medications, behavioral therapy and alternative treatments.
If you suffer from Tourette’s and your Tourette’s is a recognized medical disability, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your condition. Additionally, your employer must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability. This includes allowing you to miss work for doctor’s appointments and behavioral therapy, among other accommodations.
