i don't actually know much about employment law, but as I understand it this is different from most of the other protected classes (race gender etc.) after googling I found this statement from the EEOC: https://www.eeoc.gov/foia/eeoc-informal-discussion-letter-320 https://www.eeoc.gov/foia/eeoc-informal-discussion-letter-32... "Favoring an individual with a disability over a non-disabled individual for purposes of affirmative action in hiring or advancement is not unlawful disparate treatment based on disability, and therefore does not violate Title I of the ADA.(1) Both the text of the ADA itself, as clarified by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, and the EEOC's implementing regulations explicitly state that an individual without a disability cannot bring a claim of discrimination under the ADA."
