My 24 year old son started having seizures about 15 months ago.
Medication to this point has not stopped them, however they are
infrequent. He has had five mild seizures at work over the last 15
months. Two within a few days about a week ago. I will state right
upfront that several requests for reasonable accommodations met with
resistance and refusal. Those accommodations were simply to move him
from a Tuesday-Saturday to a Monday-Friday work week so he can ride
the bus if need be. And that a chair be placed in his work area in
case he has a seizure. The first one was met after pushing it. It's
been 15 months and the chair still has not been accommodated.  

His employer is now requesting that my son sign a medical release to
his doctor for information as to my son's ability to perform his job
functions and what reasonable accommodations are required. He is an
auto technician for a Toyota dealership. My son and I don't have a
problem with this as it is appropriate for the employer to be sure to
do everything possible to protect themselves and my son. However, as
part of the medical release, they are requesting copies of all his
medical records. This we do have a problem with. It's not in my son's
best interest for non-medically trained people to make decisions and
judgments on my son's medical records. Also, these records have his
medical history not related to his epilepsy.

So, as I am not an expert in the ADA, I am asking if anyone can point
me to a specific part of the ADA, privacy laws, or court ruling
barring employers from asking for more then required, to assess job
ability. Any help would be appreciated.
