Decision question
Given that the NSPE Code neither compels nor prohibits voluntary disclosure of Engineer A's autism diagnosis, how should Engineer A exercise his autonomous self-advocacy discretion—and does the employer's reciprocal dignity obligation under Section III.1.f meaningfully alter the prudential calculus in favor of disclosure?
Focus
Engineer A's exercise of autonomous self-advocacy discretion regarding voluntary disclosure of his autism diagnosis, weighing the self-advocacy principle against prudential career risks and the employer's reciprocal dignity obligations
Option1
Continue non-disclosure at the current employer as a considered prudential judgment, recognizing that the Code creates no obligation to disclose and that the career risks of disclosure in an imperfectly bias-free environment outweigh the personal benefits of self-advocacy at this time
Option2
Voluntarily disclose the autism diagnosis to the current employer, invoking ADA protections and the employer's Section III.1.f dignity obligation as a framework for the disclosure conversation, and requesting any reasonable accommodations that would further support continued high performance
Option3
Disclose the autism diagnosis selectively to trusted colleagues or a direct supervisor in an informal context rather than through a formal HR process, balancing the self-advocacy interest in authentic professional identity against the career risk of formal employer documentation of the disclosure
Role
Engineer A
