I've only had two jobs in my life, both have been long term jobs. My first employer was aware of my disabilities and took advantage of me for this reason. I haven't told my current employer exact details about my disabilities. I'm sure my boss and co-workers are aware I have some type of health problem as I take a lot of time off work for doctors appointments. However, I don't particularly see any benefit or reason to share specific information that isn't really anyone's business anyway.
The main problem I have when it comes to finding work is I never have any work references. I have screwed up a lot and have performance issues that are bad enough I can't think of anyone who would give me a glowing recommendation.
