I've never told. I've changed jobs 6 times since dx in 1988. Once you tell, you can't take it back.

My issues with MS are not blatantly obvious, so it's not that hard to not disclose.

The Federal government is fast on its way to becoming a mega-employer so if it helps getting in while printing money still works, it may be an option. I'm a civil servant (for the last 2-1/2 years) - I didn't tell them. Come to think of it, I didn't even get points for being a veteran (lower pay scales get 5 points).

My first 2 jobs were at nuclear power plants. Physicals, mental tests, the whole nine yards. No problem. I even get annuals now at NASA with only non-MS problems (the oxygen sensor thingy...).
