Hmm...this is a tricky and controversial question ;)
All I can say is that yes, I'm fairly certain that his seizures DO count as a disability...I don't think that he can be turned down from a job b/c of it...if he WAS...that's discrimination.
AND...
I think that everyone in general is always EXPECTED to pull their own weight...but that doesn't always happen...obviously.
I'm sure that he's doing the best that he can...in addition to his seizures, he may very well be "slow"...but I'm sure that the level that he's performing at probably IS his best...he can't be faulted for that. Not everyone is a rocket scientist.
You work with what you're given, which is most likely exactly what he's trying to do.
I'm sure it's frustrating for you..having to work under those circumstances...but try to remain positive....it could be you....kind of puts things in perspective.
Just my opinion...:)
