Definition
Engineer A in BER Case 19-1 failed to disclose a medical condition (autism/Asperger's Syndrome) to a prospective employer out of fear of discrimination. The Board found that the NSPE Code does not compel disclosure of medical conditions and that Engineer A had a personal right to privacy, establishing a precedent for the non-disclosure analysis applied to Engineer Intern A.
