No, despite what companies say, they probably discretely will discriminate. Just see how ageism has taken a footing in our industry, or how 'cultural fit' has become the standard vocabulary in companies to legitimize discrimination. To show undesirable traits would just put you in the NO bucket, because there's always another fish in the market who doesn't display your negatives. And in any case, you can always disclose your disability after you've been accepted, just be aware that they can get rid of you easily if you work in a state with at-will employment agreement.
If the above is not what you believe about our industry or companies in general, then by all means do so. In the end, what you think is best for you is what you should proceed forward on. Just my 2c.
