Autism, benefit or a hindrance for b-school

Hey monkeys, I love browsing this forum, and reading yalls advice and comments. Well I need your advice now.

I know that top business schools want a diverse group of candidates (aka non white males). Well it just so happens I am a white male, but with a catch. I am diagnosed with high functioning autism. This came with a unique upbringing in life, and I’m considering including it in my application.

However, there is a certain stereotype and stigmitism associated with autism that may just make me very unappealing to the admissions team at business schools. I just don’t know.

What do you monkeys think? Do I mention autism or not in my application?
