Do not disclose disabilities before you are hired. You are under no legal obligation to do so. Disabilities are a matter between you and HR after you are hired.

Even after being hired I'd discourage revealing disabilities unless you're specifically using the disclosure to request accommodations.

HR will probably "let slip" to management about it in a small enough company.

So there's something to be said for expecting it to come out eventually.

But it's good to have as much time as possible to prove yourself before that happens.
