Legal Question in Disability Law in New York

adhd and termination

I was employed with the company over 2 years. My university extends to me the accomadation of extended time for test taking due to my ADHD. For the first time I needed to take advantage of extended test time. Not prepared for that need, I was held over taking some tests and was late to work a few times. My Xemployer put into place a point system for being late, a certain amount of points terminates you. I explained to management why I was late, and informed them of my ADHD but still recieved points. When my grandfather went into ICU I called into work. The next week I clocked in 5 mins late and was fired. I spoke with the General Manager(GM), I brought up the subject of my ADHD, then was only suspended until further discussion with their Corporate Office. I supplied documentation from the hospital, documentation from my University, and a 3 page write-up. Two weeks later the GM still did not send the documentation to Corporate, I faxed them over. The next day the GM informed me of his decision to still terminate me. It's now been 3 weeks. I am contacting the Division of human rights today. What do you recommend I do, what rights do I have at this point?
