REPETITIVE STRESS DISORDER NOT A PROTECTED DISABILITY UNDER ADA
 
 
A newspaper reporter who could not type or write for extended periods because of a repetitive stress disorder did not have a protected disability because she was not limited in a major life activity. The Court found the major life activity of performing manual tasks included a broad range of activities that she could perform such as shopping, driving, and dressing.
