harrassed/teased at work

[Shelley]

You mean I got to tell people about me? I thought that the law said I didn't have to as long as I was seizure free? I was able to join the military for a brief time, and everything.

Why not tell 'em? Isn't your objective one to minimize their ignorance? Sure, some of 'em will act like 'holes. The gutless ones wil fall behind those ignorant ones. The true friends will leave if they hate the environment or line up as your friends.

Here's a good approach:
Do a formal verbal presentation about your E. Everybody will know. Give handouts from the EFA so they can read and re-read about E. Explain how they can help you and what type of seizure you have so they can recognize one. This is gutsy for a shy person, but it will clear the air. If nobody accepts it, move on to a better environment. The harassment only raises your threshold. Some kids never grow up.
Always have a backup plan. Another job interview (keep it confidential!) may be your best option. And if that fails, always be ready with a written record of events and dates that accurately describe your working environment. A lawyer will decipher that stuff for you.
