    It probably shouldn’t include allergies…depending on how bad those are sneezing while at the wheel would be very dangerous…

    Obviously it should be confirmed by a doctor…but still that sounds dangerous.

        It certainly would be if it prevents people from breathing or driving or other parts of their job. Disability is a very inclusive concept, even if many people understandably don’t enjoy being counted as being included.
