I was depending on getting to work by bus. A company changed the hours to night, so I could not do that. However, the ADA was passed years ago. They are required to make accommodations, What are your skills? What kind of job are you looking for?

You are not obligated to tell any employer that you have epilepsy, and if they dont hire you because you told them then that is discrimination. I am not sure what your capabilities are, but like Leslie said maybe you can find a job with a bit of flexibility or a schedule that works best for you.

For quite a while I went to employment agencies to get work as they have a list of people that need workers. You may have to take knowledge tests and they'll ask your particular skills and preferences. When they have something, they let you know and have the right to refuse if it doesn't work. Also, if you get a job through them, they become your HR and advocate if needed.

I just retired from Kroger with seventeen years working with them. I enjoyed all my time with them and only had two gran mal seizures in all those years. Work is starting to tire me out. My last seizure was in December of 2012.
