LD Entering College & the Workplace?

I just read an inspiring article in "The Atlantic" about a young man who obtained a job right out of college and had to decide whether or not to disclose that he has a learning disability (LD), and what the implications of such a disclosure could be.  I've often wondered, for the sake of my own children, what that will be like when they are ready to venture off into college and into the work force.  I worry about them and I worry that it will harm them in some way.  My kids are sensitive about their individual issues, but I also think that they will end up doing things that play on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.  What do you think?  If you were job-hunting would you disclose?
