When looking for a job should I disclose a disability

NAS68689

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/do-you-have-disability-why-should-click-yes-jan-johnston-tyler-ma/

This linkedin article suggests that I should disclose having a disability in order to increase my chances of getting a job.

I am considering checking yes because I have autism and anxiety.  I normally would never consider this, but I feel that I'm at a huge disadvantage in the job market as a white, straight, male.  Does anybody have any advice on this?   If I did check yes on my application, what kind of additional questions or proof might they ask me?

  • I wouldn't disclose personally at the start, only once you've signed the contract and are in the job. This way you're protected under the employment and disability act whereas in the interview stage there aren't so many protections other than having to ensure the interview is accessible
