I spoke to someone at uni (was at York St John) and it helped them knowing so that when I handed over an extension form on medical grounds they were like oh thats ok rather than making a bigger fuss when i didnt need it.
They cannot react negatively as they have to remain professional.
I had a negative time telling people at uni from my peers not the staff. My tutor met me reguarly to offer me additional support and reading notes which was useful as I was often too spaced in elctures and couldnt make notes.
On the down side the other guys on my course (there were only 12) of us were horrid and spread rumours despite all knowing my issues.
I say go for it despite all that. You need to do what will help you get through the year as if you dont they may not allow you to ocntinue next year.
hope I helped and not put you off as you need to tell them x
