Definitely do not mention your disability until you've been offered a position. Under the ADA, an employer can't ask you any disability related questions until the "post-offer" stage. Why do you think this is? Because before this it was really easy for employers to screen out disabled people. For the same reason, it can only hurt you to mention it. It certainly won't make you seem more qualified, but just a liability. If you mention a need for accommodation after the offer and they give you a hard time, then they are potentially breaking the law and you could take them to task for it. You could potentially file charges of discrimination against the companies that didn't hire you after you told them, but chances are that it would be extremely difficult to prove that's why they didn't hire you (unless they are dumb enough to have written it down or something, they just have to show that they hired someone else with better qualifications... not hard to do in a big applicant pool), so it may not be worth your time.
