Is it okay to mention autism in an interview?

Hello!

Tomorrow I have an interview for an early assurance program that my university has with a nearby medical school. I have done a lot of volunteer work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and that is one of my passions in the medical field. I would love to go into a specialty where I can work with children with neurodevelopmental disorders in the future. One of the main motivations behind this is that I have autism and am very interested in how we can help people with IDDs thrive and improve their access to proper care and support on a personal level. I also know a ridiculous amount about autism and similar conditions because of the new Autism Meta (one of my special interests literally is autism). If I were asked about this topic, would it be "taboo" or bad to mention it? I am independent and have milder autism, so I know I am capable, but I don't know how much stigma there is about autism.

day 1 vs day 30 of fixing my posture

I included some lines to help accentuate the changes! My neck is naturally held straighter and further back, but it still needs work. My neck hump seems to have lessened slightly but that might just be due to how I’m holding neck! Still very stiff but improving slowly

does this need an x-ray?

19, FtM
I have a bony neck hump and forward head posture. I went to physical therapy for a consultation and they said I had “loss of cervical lordosis” and gave me some exercises to do at home. I feel like the exercises only help a small amount and it has been a month. My upper back and neck are incredibly stiff, and it feels like I have a physical blockage preventing me from bending up upper spine. It causes a crazy amount of stiffness and sometimes my back has muscle spasms. It’s difficult to sit up straight because it fatigues and pains my back and neck muscles. I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether an x-ray would be a good idea.

does my body pass

19, pre-everything, want a realistic look at if my body passes. Binding doesn’t do a lot for me it seems as I have a large and dense chest
