One thing I’d add: don’t ever check the box that says "Yes, I'm disabled" when applying to a company. Ever. Unlike declaring race or veteran status, admitting past or present disability can only hurt your chances at getting an offer. Some employers may appreciate the honesty, most of them will automatically and quietly hold it against you at every step of the hiring process. And they'll get away with it. Easily. The laws "protecting" disabled candidates are essentially toothless, since "illegal" reasons for rejection are often not written down or, at least, hidden from you and the goverment's.
