I have mild cerebral palsy. I can type, file, and so on. The main limitation I have is handwriting. This position also requires site visits, but I can't drive. I know that some job responsibilities will be discussed, but should I mention it ahead of time?

You can tell them reasonably safely once you got a aps://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/point">pointment for an interview because at that s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/point">point rejecting you without an interview would be a huge signal for illegal discrimination, so it won’t happen.

If you tell them in your s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/application">application they can just throw your s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/application">application away and there is little you can do.

PS. The interview is not worthless. Throwing away your application without ever seeing you is prejudice. In the interview you have the chance to overcome prejudice. And you encounter different “theys”. There may be a useless HR drone throwing away your application, where the interviewer would accept you. It’s not necessarily the company rejecting you, but different individuals.
