Personal Statement question--disclose, or not?

<p>I'm just wondering if I should mention Asperger's as a 'challenge overcome'; honestly, most of the challenges I've faced in life stem from this, including my Anxiety Disorder(which has definitely impacted my schooling/grades). </p>

<p>However, general opinion seems to be torn on this, so (my neurotic searching) my research has finally led me to wonder if declaring something such as this will get any consideration, or if it would be negative. I don't expect any changes in the admissions process itself, but am worried about some of the more 'social' aspects of the admissions process, specifically interviews(I'd feel bad asking for special treatment from disability services, as I've made it 'this far' whilst keeping my mouth shut) if I don't have eye contact, etc. </p>

<p>(also, I'm sorry if this is in the incorrect section;was going to post in essays till I realised it had morphed into something more general.</p>

<p>Edit; also, would I be better off generalising any mental syndromes, or not mentioning them at all?</p>
