People are not "hired under" the ADA. The ADA merely prohibits discrimination by employers against covered individuals and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for covered employees.
A covered individual can be fired as long as the employer's action did not discriminate against the employee on the basis of his or her disability. For example, any employee, covered or not, can be terminated for cause.

They would need other reasons to fire you. If you had not disclosed that you had a disability and then this subsequently had an impact on your job or having such a disability made you ineligible for the job in the first place, then your case would be greatly weakened.
