Babs,

I used to be a HR manager for a city.  When you're in civil service for government it is A LOT harder to fire someone so you shouldn't worry about that.  My husband is in the private sector and I used to be shocked at how easy it was to get rid of someone in that arena!

You need to ask your HR person about ADA accommodations.  That person should be well-versed in the law.  At the very least they can tell you how to begin asking for accommodations.  You cannot be fired for your disability.  Most public sector places have well-documented policies as to how things like ADA are used.  I hope you're in such a place!

If your supervisor is unsupportive, stay away from there and just work with HR.  That's where all the information should be found.

Good luck to you,

MB
