ASD: Please clarify whether you mean autistm spectrum disorders or atrial septal defect. Indicating a repaired atrial septal defect may not negatively impact your resume but autism might.

Your choice: If it's autistic disorder, it's your right to decide. In our residency program, a bright young intern did not disclose that he had Asperger syndrome until faced with dismissal for unusual behaviors that negatively impacted his performance. If he had disclosed in his application, the program may have accepted him as a person with a disability & made accomodations under ada. Weigh your options.
