I'm in the US. I've had this thought before, but I'm afraid of a couple things: 1. I'm afraid that by the time I get a response from HR or whoever about accommodations, that the job may already be filled. I've asked before on other interviews and didn't get a response for like 3 days. 2. On jobs with tons of applicants (like most job postings on online job boards, LinkedIn, etc.) that they'll just automatically pass over me if I ask for accommodations. Of course I realize that'd be illegal for an employer to do, but what's REALLY going to stop them? I wouldn't be able to prove anything. I have no trouble seeing an employer saying something like "Well, I've got 200 other applicants, why would I go out of my way for this guy?" Maybe that's me being a little cynical, who knows. I'm trying really hard to stay positive mindset, but it's difficult.
