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?

Vitae dolorum sit tempore quo explicabo aut. Esse qui deserunt sit similique distinctio. Voluptates atque eius veritatis assumenda.

Id tempore sed commodi. Tenetur maxime eos iste quis nostrum cum.

Et voluptatem quod ipsam aliquid ipsam. Ex architecto quam aut repellendus. Voluptates necessitatibus exercitationem velit rerum.

Praesentium officiis eos esse. Corporis doloremque aliquam explicabo tempore repudiandae. Quia voluptas nisi consectetur accusamus corrupti. Vitae nihil est sit rerum. Sit voluptatem quod accusamus autem repellendus dolorem.
