Can a disability (epilepsy) be an advantage?

I am not sure it will be an advantage…remember that colleges want students who will succeed. Is it helpful to disclose a disability when applying? Will there be unconscious bias? Or would it be better just to have those good grades, good ACT scores and apply as usual. When she gets to college, she can talk to the disability and health offices to make sure they know of her history but that she does not anticipate needing accommodations (or may need extra time).
