Best Answer

Tourette Syndrome may be a condition covered by the Americans with Disability Act (1990) as amended (2008), if it substantially limits a life activity. In such a case, the person enjoys the protection for employment afforded by ADA. If otherwise qualified, an employer could be asked to make a "reasonable accommodation" to allow the person to work. However, in the most serve forms of the disease, individuals may have uncontrollable outbursts of vulgar language, discriminatory characterization of races, and other socially inappropriate language. In those cases law enforcement agencies would have medical and behavioral reasons not to employ an otherwise attractive candidate.
