I honestly wouldn’t put it down most of the time. On certain kinds of applications it might help but my suspicion is that it works against people most of the time – kind of like admitting you have kids as a woman. Once you’re hired if you disclose that you have a disability they do have to accommodate it but it’s too easy to say they declined to hire you/choose you for myriad other reasons for companies to be called on their discrimination in this respect. Why take someone they suspect will require an ounce more effort or accommodation on their part??
