It is illegal for an interviewer to ask many questions during the interview process. They cannot ask about any disabilities or medical conditions, among other questions. This question aims to get you to reveal any potential red flags that might slow down your productivity or ability to match the performance of the ideal candidate.

Speak with confidence in your ability to perform the required functions of this role. Assure the interviewer that you have no limitations if you don't. If you have a disability that you don't believe should hinder your success, then there is no legal or ethical reason to reveal that information.
