Decision question
Should Engineer A proactively disclose his autism diagnosis to his current employer even though the employer has never solicited that information?
Focus
Engineer A, who has been diagnosed with autism but has never been asked about it by any employer, must decide whether to voluntarily disclose his diagnosis to his current employer after 25 years of non-disclosure. The tension arises between the NSPE Code's prohibition on deceptive acts and the ADA-protected right to medical privacy.
Option1
Voluntarily disclose autism diagnosis to current employer without being asked
Option2
Maintain non-disclosure of autism diagnosis given that no employer inquiry was made and ADA protects medical privacy
Option3
Consult the NSPE Code and prior BER precedents before making any disclosure decision
Role
Licensed Professional Engineer (Engineer A)
