Decision question
Should Engineer A treat the self-advocacy disclosure norm promoted at the autism support conference as an enforceable professional ethics obligation under the NSPE Code, or as a personal choice outside the scope of formal engineering ethics?
Focus
After attending an autism support conference where a speaker advocates that autistic individuals should disclose who they are and be treated with respect rather than as persons with special needs, Engineer A must decide whether this self-advocacy norm creates a professional ethics obligation that supplements or overrides the NSPE Code's framework.
Option1
Adopt the self-advocacy disclosure norm as a binding professional obligation and disclose autism diagnosis to employer
Option2
Recognize the self-advocacy norm as a personal and community value distinct from formal NSPE Code obligations and make disclosure a matter of individual choice
Option3
Integrate the self-advocacy framework into personal professional identity without treating it as an externally enforceable ethics requirement
Role
Licensed Professional Engineer (Engineer A)
