Decision question
When Engineer A weighs voluntary autism disclosure against the prudential risk of employer bias and career harm, is this tension an ethical dilemma governed by the NSPE Code—requiring a Code-mandated resolution—or a personal and strategic calculation that the Code's silence leaves entirely to his autonomous judgment?
Focus
Engineer A's deliberation over whether to voluntarily disclose his autism diagnosis, weighing self-advocacy and authentic professional identity against prudential risks of employer bias, and determining what ethical framework governs that personal calculus
Option1
Decline to disclose autism diagnosis at this time, treating the decision as a personal prudential matter outside the NSPE Code's mandate, while continuing to monitor workplace conditions and reserving the right to disclose voluntarily in the future
Option2
Voluntarily disclose autism diagnosis to current employer in the spirit of self-advocacy and authentic professional identity, relying on ADA protections and the Code's dignity provision as dual safeguards against adverse employment action
Option3
Engage in structured consultation with an employment attorney and an NSPE ethics advisor before deciding, treating the disclosure decision as requiring professional guidance given the intersection of ADA rights, career risk, and Code obligations
Role
