In the US at least, federal law prohibits the direct targeting of someone for action based on a disability.

All RAs impact hundreds or thousands of people, so a disability will not necessarily help or hurt you. [05:18] schestowitz[TR2] Realistically, IBM will protect itself. If the employee is good enough, they'll keep the employee despite whatever disability they have. If the employee isn't good enough, or they cost too much already, then that disability just gets factored into the decision-making as something like "potential for excessive medical costs".
