Which condition is not considered a disability under the ADA?

The correct choice is based on the specific definitions and interpretations of what constitutes a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. While conditions like diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, and vision impairment can significantly impact an individual’s daily functions, pregnancy is not classified as a disability under the ADA.

Pregnancy itself is a natural condition that does not inherently limit major life activities. However, if a pregnancy results in medical complications or conditions that do limit major life activities, then those specific complications might be considered a disability. The ADA typically focuses on conditions that are ongoing and have lasting effects rather than temporary states associated with pregnancy.

Understanding this distinction helps to clarify why pregnancy is categorized differently from the other options provided. This classification emphasizes the ADA's focus on recognizing disabilities that result in significant and enduring impairments, rather than those that are naturally occurring and temporary.
