University applications

As far as I know it is optional whether or not you wish to disclose any disability on a UCAS application. Once you have been offered and accepted a place, it may be advantageous to make a disclosure to the university. My autistic daughter is at university at present and she has found that accommodations, including extended time in exams, specialised software etc. to have been very useful. She has also been able to alert lecturers that she might ask more questions in greater detail than the average student would, and as she is autistic, for them not to be annoyed by it.

Thks for your reply. 
If a person chose not to disclose in an UCAS application, would it come up in the school refetence ? It seems odd the school would not mention it ( there may even be a box to tick) or is it optional for them too?
