Decision Question
Does Engineer A have an affirmative ethical duty under the NSPE Code to disclose his autism diagnosis, or does the deceptive acts provision apply only to active misrepresentation?
Focus
Engineer A is deliberating whether the NSPE Code's prohibition on deceptive acts requires him to affirmatively volunteer his autism diagnosis, or whether silence on a never-asked-about medical condition constitutes permissible non-disclosure rather than prohibited deception. This mirrors the BER Case 97-11 precedent involving non-disclosure of a prior ethics complaint.
Option1
Treat silence on an unsolicited medical condition as ethically equivalent to active deception and disclose proactively
Option2
Distinguish passive non-disclosure from active misrepresentation and refrain from volunteering unsolicited medical information
Option3
Apply the BER Case 97-11 precedent to conclude that non-disclosure of non-solicited personal information does not violate the deceptive acts provision
Role Label
Licensed Professional Engineer (Engineer A)
