Teacher training and Autism

How do assessors treat Teacher training applicants with ASD ?
I am applying for teacher training, I'm not sure whether to disclose because I think Interviewers will see as a barrier. ( I had difficulty when applying for undergraduate and it took a second year to get in )

its up to you, you wont be entitled to any adjustments until you declare it but if you feel more comfortable mentioning it after getting a place then do that.

Hi Thank you for that. I think I may well not mention it. I have found that it is more often than not seen as a barrier and a candidate that does not have ASD seems preferable. Best wishes
