You may be stuck with her as an assistant, because if she can claim that it's her illness that's causing the problems rather than her just generally being stupid, ineffective, or lazy without impact of the disorder, you're looking at an Americans with Disabilities Act Lawsuit ... and fighting it would take a lot more time, money, and energy than you'll lose by keeping her on the schedule and payroll. That's something, though, for the lab manager to consult with the Human Resources and Legal folks about.

This is one of the times when I'm inclined to side with a company that cans someone IF that person is found to be medically non-compliant.
