The term "stress intolerance disorder" is not a recognized clinical classification in the field of psychiatry or psychology.

The closest things I could find are Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. But none of those quite fit the description given in the article.

There are numerous medical and mental-health conditions that become worse as a result of stress, but they're usually described more specifically, not as a stress intolerance disorder.

I would be interested in a company's ADA compliance obligations for someone who says they have a stress intolerance disorder. Is it reasonable to expect a business to alleviate anything that employee perceives as stressful?

ME/CFS doesn't seem to fit the symptoms she's describing, either. The fact that she can work fine in remote settings, and that symptoms only appear when stress is elevated, is inconsistent with ME/CFS.
